Ponte della Maddalena

    From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponte_della_Maddalena

    Ponte della Maddalena (Italian: "Bridge of Mary Magdalene", also known as Ponte del Diavolo, the "Bridge of the Devil") is a bridge which crosses the Serchio river near the town of Borgo a Mozzano in the Italian province of Lucca[1][2]. It was a vital river crossing on the Via Francigena, an ancient road to Rome for those coming from France and an important medieval pilgrimage route.
    The bridge is a remarkable example of medieval engineering, probably commissioned by the Countess Matilda of Tuscany circa 1080-1100. It was renovated circa 1300 under the direction of Castruccio Castracani. The largest span is 37.8 m. The bridge is also described in a of 14th century novel by Giovanni Sercambi.
