Ponte nel cielo

Ponte nel cielo, located in Tartano, Italy, is one of the most spectacular covered bridges in the world. Built in a valley carved into the side of the mountain, the bridge is an imposing work engineering that spans an entire four hundred and thirty-five meters. Its beauty is due to the addition of seven arches which give it a precariously balanced look. The bridge was built in 1982 and remains an iconic symbol of the village of Tartano as well as an integral part of the everyday lives of its inhabitants. The bridge is even illuminated at night, making it a stunning sight for visitors and hikers. Visiting the bridge is an experience no traveler to the Lombardy region of Italy should miss.
