Ponte Clementino

The travertine bridge spans 90 meters across the Rio Maggiore valley, connecting two tuff ridges with its double-arch design at 40 meters height.

Commissioned by Pope Clement XI in 1709, architect Filippo Barigioni designed this structure to link the historic center with the new part of town.

The bridge represents early 18th-century engineering methods, incorporating regional materials and architectural elements typical of central Italian infrastructure.

Ponte Clementino maintains its function as a primary crossing point, featuring two lanes for vehicle traffic and connecting to the Via Flaminia road network.

Following the flood of 1861, the bridge underwent reconstruction that reduced its height from 54 to 40 meters and included a travertine gate.
