Connecting Castelvecchio and Adige, this powerful bridge was first built in the 1st century AD, destroyed during World War II, and rebuilt using parts of the original structure.

This was the highlight of my Verona holiday, the bridge is in fantastic shape considering its age, it is a great photo opportunity with fab views up and own the river. We loved it so much we came back again at night to get some night shots when its all lit up. Without a doubt my favourite spot in Verona.

This is the bridge recommended by the hotel as a must see, it is an old bridge but nothing spectacular. You can get to the funicular railway here and see the Castle San Pietro good views and then cross the bridge afterwards which then gives you easy access to the San Giovanni in Fonte which in turn will take you onto the Plazza Dei Signori lots of market stalls here and restaurants for the weary traveller. Be prepared for lots of walking we did 18 Kms but you sleep well????

The arch was erected in 1470 and showcases a curved rib under the arch. Some people say that the rib is from a whale, while others claim the rib is from an ancient dragon. What would you think. I think I will go for the ancient dragon.

Literally “Victory Bridge”: this beautiful 1920s white stone 111m long arch bridge over river Adige, decorated with 4 majestic bronze equestrian statues, is named after the “Vittorio Veneto” WWI battle which secured the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is a major Verona observation spot overlooking on one side the magnificent Castelvecchio 1300s castle and on the other the “Torricelle” hills, San Giorgio in Braida” church with its recognizable dome and the hilltop sanctuary “Santuario della Madonna di Lourdes”; Needless to say sunsets here are magical; Beneath the horses you can find 4 WWI related reports: amongst them one from king Vittorio Emanuele III and most notable the “Bollettino della Vittoria”, the final address to the army and the nation issued by the Chief of Staff, General Armando Diaz ending with the famous words: “The remnants of what was one of the world's most powerful armies are returning in hopelessness and chaos up the valleys from which they had descended with boastful confidence”.
