Comments:
The Stone Bridge is the oldest bridge in Verona. The bridge over the Adige River was probably built in the 1st century BC. During World War II, the bridge was bombed by the retreating Germans, but between 1957 and 1959 the bridge was rebuilt with original stones taken from the riverbed.

The bridge, which is 92.8 meters long and 7.2 meters wide, was photographed by the same photographer on the same day Click for a larger image Click for a larger image

A nearby sign, apparently placed at the completion of the bridge’s reconstruction, describes its long history
