Whoever designed, it has done a wonderful job. Lovely bridge. We were thrilled with the arrival at the bridge after Castelvecchio Castle. Scaliger Bridge was built (most likely in 1354-1356). The atmosphere is enchanting while walking the bridge, a rich history can be felt. It connects the castle to the rest of the old town. It offers great views of the castle and river. The central arch was once the largest in the world. The bridge has impressive design, the red brick from which it is built gives it special clarity and strength. From the bridge there is fabulous views of the river Adige. Simply beautiful.

The bridge retains a lot of its original feel - you can see the way it's supposed to protect the river and it keeps all of its medieval charm. As many bridges around the world, it boasts it's lover's locks, but in here they stay gates covering recesses to old windows, so in a very stable place with little chance of creating real structural damage. Being Verona, you can also find love notes on the walls and ledges, as in so many other places in the city. You can climb on the top part of the bridge for a beautiful view of the city and to make really charming pictures. What else can a tourist want?

This place was really cool. We had so much fun here taking pictures, watching the birds, listening to some music and so on. I would recommend everyone to see this place for sure when you are at Verona. The Castle vecchio bridge is also so beautiful. It had Christmas market when I visited. The texture of the bridge is so good- it's all bricks and you will see some names written on them. The place is really good to take pictures and you will see some cute corners. I will say you shall not miss to see this place. 💘

Visiting Verona and strolling along the Ponte Scaligero, or Ponte di Castelvecchio, was truly a memorable experience. This historic bridge is beautifully crafted from red brick and is part of the stunning Castelvecchio fortress. Walking along the bridge feels like stepping back in time to the medieval era, and the view of the Adige River flowing below adds a serene and romantic atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for taking photos and soaking in the beauty of Verona, making it a highlight of my trip!
