Iron bridge that unites Piedmont and Lombardy, for those who do not want to cross it on the car lane there is the possibility of staying on the pavement present in both lanes

Due to its central location on the railway line of the Simplon Pass and the state road, Sesto Calende is a transport hub of supraregional importance. People heading to the Po Valley, the Gotthard Pass or the Simplon Pass must pass through the town on Lake Maggiore. How important the region is for local traffic is illustrated by the double iron bridge over Ticino. Built in 1868, this transport hub is busy. If you want to pay a visit to the shores of Lake Maggiore on the Piedmontese or Lombard side, you will cross the iron bridge.
