Groppodalosio Bridge

Romanesque bridge from 1594

The Groppodalosio bridge is found just outside the locality of Groppodalosio in the Pontremoli township. Along the ancient Via Francigena halway between the Cisa Pass and Pontremoli. It was built to unite the localities of Groppodalosio and Casalina. The bridge, having a flavor of the epical, as well as science fiction (almost as if out of Tolkein), has come to be known by the local inhabitants as the Bridge of the Dark Valley, named after the splendid valley in which it’s to be found.
The bridge’s principal feature is its extremely round and pronounced arch more than 16 meters above the Magra River, surrounded by old chestnut stands and terraces of olive trees and vines cultivated by the local inhabitants.
