Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II

  Rising above the Tiber River, Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II connects the bustling district of Prati with the historic area of Borgo. Completed in 1911, this bridge was designed to honor Italy's first king and features beautiful sculptures that pay homage to the country's rich history. Spanning approximately 133 meters in length, its prominent arches create a picturesque view, especially at sunset in June when visitors can enjoy a lively atmosphere right by the water. As you stroll across, take a moment to admire the detailed carvings and the energetic flow of local life, making it a perfect spot for photographers or anyone looking to soak in a bit of Roman culture. The bridge serves not only as a vital pedestrian crossing but also as a scenic viewpoint of iconic landmarks like St. Peter's Basilica.
