The bridge was built between 60 and 40 BC. Probably built by Lucius Cestius, the brother of Gaius Cestius Epulo. It was renovated several times: in 152 under Emperor Antoninus Pius, in 370 by Valentinian I, Valens and Gratian. It was subsequently called Pons Gratiani (Gratians Bridge). A plaque on the parapet commemorates another restoration in 1193.

The Cestio Bridge, which connects the Trastevere area (Lungotevere degli Anguillara) to the Tiber Island, is one of the oldest in Rome, in fact the first construction took place in 46 BC, it has been rebuilt several times (also using travertine from Teatro Marcello) and until around 1890, it had a larger central arch and the two smaller lateral ones.
With the added need to widen the river bed and the construction of walls to defend the city from the danger of floods, it became necessary to dismantle it and make it longer (from 48 to 83 metres), therefore in its current form, with the three arches of equal size.
Despite the different shape, an attempt was made to reuse the original materials, especially in the central arch.
At the center of the parapet there is an ancient inscription relating to the restorations which took place in 370 AD.

Such a beautiful place! Amazing view, definitely worth the visit! A quiet walk, specially nice if you want a break from the city’s buzz.

Puente que da acceso/salida a la isla Tiberina.
Bajando por las escaleras laterales se puede dar un paseo agradable e incluso observar de cerca el Ponte Emilio (puente de piedra más antiguo de Roma).
Muy recomendable realizar el paseo tanto por la zona alta/baja de la isla durante el atardecer.

Je úžasný zážitek kráčet po více než 2000 let starém mostě, v místě, kde Tibera ukazuje svou divokost!
