EDITORS COMMENTS
Breathtaking sunset view of Rome's ancient Pons Aemilius, also known as the Broken Bridge or Ponte Rotto, spanning the River Tiber. This remarkable stone bridge, built in 193 BC, is a testament to the engineering prowess of ancient Rome. It was the first permanent bridge constructed in the city and played a crucial role in the circulation of goods and people between the right and left banks of the Tiber. The bridge, named after Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, a Roman consul, was damaged and repaired several times throughout history. The current state of the bridge, with its broken arches and worn-out stones, speaks volumes about its rich history and the passage of time. The bridge connects Tiber Island, a small island in the Tiber River famous for its temples and healing springs, with the historic center of Rome. In the background, the cityscape is illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows over the ancient ruins and modern-day cars. The Pons Aemilius is an iconic symbol of Rome's past and a must-see attraction for visitors seeking to explore the city's rich history and cultural heritage. This image offers a unique perspective of this ancient engineering marvel and the beauty of Rome at sunset.
