Ponte Sisto
Built in the XV century by Pope Sixtus IV to allow the crossing of the Tiber, the Ponte Sisto (also known by other names such as Agrippa Bridge, Bridge Aurelius Antoninus Bridge, Bridge of Valentinian and, again, Gianicolense Bridge), deserves a visit both for its history, both the type of architecture it presents. With four central arches and a round hole that served as a hydrometer, the bridge would be, according to some, the restoration of an existing structure already in Roman times. Formerly known as the Broken Bridge, because of a collapse occurred in the 791 for the fury of a flood, the bridge was rebuilt by the architect Pontelli precisely on the order of Sixtus IV, which took its name. Then underwent various interventions in the nineteenth century and today you can see the bridge in all its beauty thanks to the scaffolding was removed during the Jubilee of 2000. |
