Bridge of Tiberius
Rimini, Italy
A Roman stone bridge finished in AD 21 and still carrying traffic into Rimini’s old town. Walk across it into the Borgo San Giuliano fishermen’s quarter.
The Ponte di Tiberio was begun in AD 14 under Augustus and completed in AD 21 under Tiberius. It is about 62.6 m long and 8.6 m wide and rests on five semicircular arches, the largest spanning 10.6 m. It is faced with white Istrian stone, and the piers stand on oak piles with timber rafts. The bridge marked the southern end of the Via Aemilia and the Via Popilia. It was damaged in 552, 1528 and 1743, and an attempt to blow it up in 1944 largely failed. Restorations took place in 1680, 1735 and the 1970s, among others. It has been a national monument since 1885.
It spans the old harbour canal and links the centre with the Borgo San Giuliano district. Since May 2020 it has been reserved permanently for pedestrians. Allow 30 to 45 minutes for a visit, longer if you then stroll through the Borgo.
