Ponte Visconteo
It’s approximately 650 meters long and 25 metres wide. Completed in 1395 it was connected to the Scaligero Castle by two battlemented curtains and integrated into the fortified complex of the "Serraglio", which extended for about 16 Km. The central arch seems to have been destroyed by the French during the war of succession to the Spanish throne. The iron bridge was inaugurated on October 28, 1930 and then bombed by Anglo-American aircraft in 1944. Every year in June, a huge banquet is held on the bridge with tables that seat nearly 4.000 people.
