Devil's Bridge (Ponte del Diavolo), Cividale del Friuli
Highlight • Bridge
The Devil's Bridge is one of the symbols of Cividale del Friuli. It stretches boldly over the Natisone River and is the subject of an incredible legend. The two sides of the bank were, at least from the XIII. Century, connected by a wooden bridge. This was replaced, after several other unsuccessful attempts, by the stone bridge designed by Lacopo Dugaro of Bissone, whose construction began in 1442. The work was subject to various obstacles and progressed only slowly. So five years later they were under the leadership of Erardo (or Everardo) da Villaco, a former employee of Darugo.
The latter may have died of the plague in the meantime, or, according to other traditions, he might have fled without fully fulfilling his contractual obligations. The builder Erardo died, and so Bartolomeo delle Cisterne completed the construction of the long-awaited bridge. Based on a notarial deed, we know that it was paved in 1501 and later again in 1558. The end points were secured by towers that were later demolished (mid-19th century). Later, restoration work was necessary several times in order to keep the indispensable crossing, which had to withstand the violent floods of the river, fully functional. In 1843, during reinforcement work on the middle pillar, two important pillar stumps from Roman times were discovered, which can now be viewed in the museum. On October 27, 1917, the work of the century suffered a severe blow of fate when, due to Caporetto's defeat, it was blown up in order to stop the approaching enemy. However, the destruction proved to be completely useless, because despite everything, the imperial troops crossed the river that same evening. The bridge was then rebuilt in record time by the Germans with the help of local specialists. Thanks to the precise surveying work carried out by the local engineer Ernesto de Paciani a few years earlier, the original structure could be fully taken into account. The roadway was widened by a few meters during this reconstruction.

The view of the bridge and the cathedral is very picturesque.
