The Covered Bridge, also known as Ponte Vecchio, crosses the Ticino River and connects the historic center of Pavia with the characteristic Borgo Ticino district, originally located outside the peripheral walls of the city. The neighborhood was traditionally inhabited by washermen, scree workers and fishermen.

The bridge, symbol of Pavia, is particular, with its five arches, entirely covered by a structure, and equipped with two portals at its ends. Also, there is a small chapel in the middle of the bridge.

The current Ponte Coperto was built between 1949 and 1951 and reflects the characteristics of the ancient Ponte Coperto dating back to the 14th century, which in turn had replaced the ancient Roman bridge (whose columns are still visible today).

This Gothic bridge was destroyed in the Second World War. Today's bridge is a reconstruction from the 1950s and stands a few meters east of the original location. Most of the remains of the old bridge are only visible at low tide.

At this point you can cross the river over an old bridge. This is covered and is due to the shadow also a meeting place of young people.
