Verona’s Ancient Roman Bridge Over Adige River: A 2,000-Year-Old Marvel

,

When the Romans rolled into Verona back in the first century BC, one of their top priorities was building a bridge over the Adige River. This bridge has seen quite a few facelifts over the years, with some major repairs in the Middle Ages and then again after World War II, thanks to some unwelcome attention from German troops. But despite all that, it’s incredible to think that parts of this amazing structure are over 2,000 years old. Just imagine the stories it could share—if only bridges could talk!
