Considern the Ponte Fabrico is the oldest bridge in Rome (circa 62 B.C) it is in pretty good condition. The original was destroyed but to be able to (literally) walk in the shoes of the Romans gave me goosebumps. We spent time watching the natural flow of the river as we imagined what life was like back then. Simply a remarkable experience.
I made it walking didn't think I would but a beautiful sunny day and the river is full. January 16, 2024
Not every day you walk across a bridge built in 62 BC. A wonder it has survived intact so long.
The oldest Roman bridge in Rome, the Pons Fabricius (also known as Ponte dei Quattro Capi) was built in 62 BC to replace a wooden bridge destroyed in a fire. Its Italian name, Quattro Capi ("four heads") refers to the striking double-faced herms which were moved to the bridge in the 14th century.
A really charming pedestrian only bridge. Like so many structures in Rome this is an ancient building which makes it even more alluring. There are two mysterious four faces statues at each end.
Such a gorgeous bridge. You’ll often find musicians playing music as the sun sets. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if people pop the big question on this bridge or share an intimate moment. Definitely a romantic place in Rome. Come at sunset, enjoy the view and then swing buy a restaurant on the west side of the river - they are often less touristy and priced more reasonably.
Why would you not want to walk over the oldest bridge in Rome built 62years BC! I’ve sent bridges built 10years ago that don’t look his good lol. The Romans build to last
