Ponte di Tiberio (Rimini)

The Ponte di Tiberio, also known as the Bridge of Tiberius, is a Roman bridge in Rimini, Italy. Construction began in 14 AD during the reign of Emperor Augustus and was completed in 21 AD by his successor, Emperor Tiberius, from whom the bridge takes its name.

The bridge spans the Marecchia river and is a significant example of Roman engineering. It is constructed of Istrian stone and features five arches of varying spans, designed to accommodate the river's natural flow. The bridge has a length of approximately 70 meters and a width of 8.6 meters.

Despite enduring earthquakes, floods, and warfare throughout the centuries, the Ponte di Tiberio remains remarkably well-preserved and is still in use today, serving as a vital pedestrian and vehicular crossing point in Rimini. Its enduring strength and durability are a testament to the advanced construction techniques employed by the Romans. The bridge is considered a symbol of the city of Rimini and a significant historical landmark.
