Why go
Cross it to understand why the castle sits where it does. The unequal arches respond to the river, while the brick battlements turn an everyday crossing into a close view of Scaliger military design. The defining details are the broad river arch with the smaller spans near the bank; pause between the battlements for views back to the castle and along the Adige.
What to look for
- Compare the broad river arch with the smaller spans near the bank.
- Pause between the battlements for views back to the castle and along the Adige.
Useful to know
- Combine the crossing with Castelvecchio Museum or Arco dei Gavi.
- The exposed bridge can feel hot in summer and slippery in wet weather.
