Ponte delle Catene, Bagni di Lucca

The Ponte delle Catene or Bridge of Chains is a 19th-century suspension bridge in Bagni di Lucca, Tuscany.

The Bridge spans the river Lima, a branch of the Serchio, and links Fornoli and Chifenti.

When a prior 1317 stone bridge attributed to Castruccio Castracani, had been destroyed by a flood, this bridge was commissioned in 1840 by Carlo Ludovico from the Neoclassical architect Lorenzo Nottolini.

The plaques (one in Latin the other in Italian) recognize the patronage of the Duke of Tuscany via Bettino Ricasoli.

The wooden roadway had been destroyed in World War two by the retreating Germans and repaired in the 1950s.
