Begun in 14 AD under Augustus, this bridge over the river Marecchia was completed in 21 AD by Tiberius, who gave it his name. It is built of massive stone from Istria and has five semicircular arches whose width decreases from the centre to the banks. During the Second World War this was the only bridge in Rimini that was not dynamited, apparently saved by a German officer who prevented its destruction. In summer, boat trips are organized on the Marecchia around the bridge; ask at the tourist office.
