Ponte Isabella, 19th century stone bridge in Turin, Italy.

The Ponte Isabella extends 150 meters across the Po River with five stone arches and measures nearly 13 meters in width.

Following a devastating flood in 1706, Napoleon ordered construction of a new bridge in 1810, which was completed under French and Italian engineering supervision.

The bridge foundation contains 88 commemorative coins and medals from Napoleonic military campaigns, along with a silver ingot in its central column.

Several public transportation options serve the bridge, including tram lines 7, 13, 15 from Vittorio Veneto stop and multiple bus routes.

Despite initial plans for demolition after Turin's liberation from Napoleon, King Vittorio Emanuele I intervened to preserve this architectural structure.
