Puente Románico fortificado sobre el río Fluviá de 135 metros de largo, 15 metros de largo y formado por ocho arcos. Encima del quinto pilar esta la torre fortificada de planta hexagonal.
La primera noticia que se tiene del puente data del año 1075 y ha sido destruido y reconstruido varias veces, la última en la guerra civil Española donde volaron dos de los arcos.
Su estructura, enteramente de piedra y perfectamente adaptada a la caprichosa orografía esculpida por el curso fluvial que debe salvar, las distintas arcadas apuntadas que se van sucediendo a lo largo de los nada menos que 145 metros, describiendo incluso un atrevido ángulo oblicuo que divide en dos el pasaje.
Pues eso, que una joyita medieval digna de contemplar.

One of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany is in the province of Siena - San Gimignano. This is mainly due to its historic, medieval town center, which was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990 and has most of the region's gender towers.

Jacopo III's 15th century works were mainly aimed at anchoring his own galley, as well as other small court vessels, given the proximity of his residence to the Citadel. This inevitably led to a reduction in the anchorages of many vessels used for fishing and commercial traffic.
