An original trip by boat under the old Bridge's archades. For 2000 years, residents and travellers have been crossing Tiberius Bridge in the city of Rimini. It’s not only a link between the two sides of the Marecchia river but a connection between different people, a symbol of confrontation (not always peaceful) between civilizations.
Tiberius Bridge is one of the few bridges which can claim this venerable age. This fact, in addition to its solidity and resistance, has always been an attractive surprise and has created the legend of the "devil’s bridge".
It was built with advanced techniques and is also full of decorative symbols. It’s mentioned in many history books and Andrea Palladio drew inspiration from its perfect proportions for the costruction of the Rialto Bridge in Venice.
In 1885 it was declared national monument.
With this initiatve visitors don’t see the Bridge "from above", as they normally do, but are able to pass under its archades by boat discovering it from a different perspective, gliding on water level.
In this way many details and peculiarities of the bridge, that normally remain hidden, can be admired. One of its arches was demolished at the beginning of the first Middle Ages and was mined by the Germans during the retreat at the end of World War II. Who knows in how many other occasions it has run the risk to perish. But it is still there as a witness of the past glory, and perhaps, in the future, when streets are no longer necessary, it will reminds us what we were.
The tours last 15 minutes.
