The Ponte della Cresa is considered by many to be the true symbol of the city of Pontremoli.
The etymology of the name Pontremoli, however, is traced back to the Latin Pons Tremulus, the insecure bridge, a term used to indicate the original city agglomeration.
This bridge is located on the Verde stream and connects the two main streets of the medieval village, via Cavour to the north and via Mazzini to the south.
It was built in wood at the beginning of the fourteenth century, then it was demolished and rebuilt at the end of the fourteenth century and, since then, despite the historical vicissitudes and floods to which it has been subjected, it has maintained the original structure in stone and brick.
It should be remembered that under this bridge, in the month of January, the characteristic annual bonfire competition takes place between the two parishes of the city, that of San Geminiano and that of San Nicolò.
