Description
Verona's Ponte Scaligero (Ponte di Castelvecchio) was likely built between 1354 and 1356. Its solid construction allowed it to remain unscathed until, in the late 18th century, the French troops destroyed the tower on the left bank.
The bridge was totally destroyed, along with the Ponte Pietra, by retreating German troops on April 24, 1945. A faithful reconstruction begun in 1949 and was finished in 1951.
