Towers Bridge (Ponte delle Torri)
A connection between the Fortress and Monteluco, the bridge is 76 mt. (250 feet) tall and 230 mt. (755 feet) long, and offers a breathtaking sight over the surrounding hills and the Tessino River. Made in local tuff, the dating is uncertain, perhaps sometime between the 13th and 15th century, and most probably in substitution of a previous bridge of the Roman period. It also served as an aqueduct and as protection, thanks to two control towers. |
