Ponte Sisto


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.

[Go see more bridges, or join in the fun
yourself, chez Louis la Vache.]
