Ponte Palatino

Ponte Palatino, also known as Ponte Inglese (Italian for English Bridge), is a bridge that links Lungotevere Aventino to Lungotevere Ripa in Rome (Italy), in the Rioni Ripa and Trastevere.

[1] The bridge was designed by architect Angelo Vescovali and built between 1886 and 1890 in place of the partially destroyed, 2,200-year-old Pons Aemilius (also called Ponte Rotto, "Broken Bridge").

Ponte Palatino takes its name from the Palatine Hill, at whose slopes the structure rises.

The bridge links the Forum Boarium to Piazza Castellani, in front of the Tiber Island; the epithet English is due to the left-hand traffic flow that applies on it, just as in the United Kingdom.

It shows four masonry piers with a metal top surface and is 155 metres (509 ft) long.
