Ponte Nomentano

The remains of the ancient town can be visited

The Ponte Nomentano, an ancient bridge in northeastern Rome, spans the Aniene River. Its medieval bridge tower is a testament to Roman engineering and later modifications.

History+

The origins of the Ponte Nomentano date back to the 1st century BC. For a long time, it lay outside the city walls of Rome and served as a crossing for the Via Nomentana. In 547 AD, the bridge was destroyed by Totila during the Gothic Wars but was rebuilt by 552 under the East Roman general Narses, with a late Republican arch suggesting only limited damage.
