Named for (and commissioned by) Pope Sixtus IV,
this is the only bridge built across the Tiber
between the fall of the Roman empire and
the 19th century. Much of the material
used to build it came from the Colosseum.

yourself, chez Louis la Vache.]
A wonderful angle, not often seen. It is beautiful when enlarged.

ReplyDelete«Louis» is very, very late to his own party!
ReplyDeleteHe has had very little time to spend on-line since last Friday and is very belatedly making the rounds to those who contributed to Sunday Bridges. He thanks you for participating and apologizes for being so late in acknowledging your contribution!
