The enormous Ponte Girevole swing bridge is the symbol of the Apulian city of Taranto (Tarent) and was built to connect the old town with the new town. Inaugurated by Admiral Ferdinando Acton on May 22, 1887, the bridge spans a navigable canal 400 meters long and 73 meters wide, connecting the Mar Grande with the Mar Piccolo.
