Ponte delle Torri

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:24:22

Many people literally draw breath the first time they glimpse the medieval Ponte delle Torri, a 10-arch bridge that leaps spectacularly across a steeply wooded gorge – a scene beautifully captured by Turner in his 1840 oil painting. The bridge was erected in the 14th century on the foundations of a Roman aqueduct.
