Description
Ponte Gobbo - Hunchbacked Bridge is a fascinating historic bridge in Bobbio, known for its distinctive uneven design with 11 arches of different sizes.
According to local legend, the bridge was built by the devil at the request of St. Columbanus, an Irish monk, who outwitted the evil spirit by allowing a dog to cross the bridge first.
Dating back to Roman times and rebuilt in the 17th century, this architectural gem offers breathtaking views of the Trebbia River valley, described by Ernest Hemingway as one of the most beautiful in the world.
