    Hiking

    Like any self-respecting city dating back to the Middle Ages, Dronero also has the Devil's Bridge. Legend has it that the Droneresi asked the Devil for help to build the bridge over the Torrente Maira. He accepted on condition that he was offered the soul of the one who would first cross it. The astute inhabitants of Dronero, however, when the work was completed, had a dog go to test the architectural work. The Devil ran away in anger.

    The Devil's Bridge in Dronero, built in 1428 over the Maira torrent, is a remarkable example of medieval civil engineering. This bridge has three arches of different sizes and is slightly curved, with lateral parapets surmounted by swallow-tailed Ghibelline battlements.

    Originally, on the pillar of the smaller arch towards the centre of Dronero, there was a drawbridge, whose iron hinge was found under the road surface; this was removed in 1810 when the entrance passage was widened and the Ghibelline battlements were restored.

    Beautiful medieval bridge, with cycle and pedestrian access. From the bridge you can enjoy an excellent view of the village and the valley, as well as the car bridge which is also a beautiful bridge. It can be seen very well from the pavement of the car bridge.
