As you can guess from the name, the Breggia Gorge Park takes its name from the river that forms these beautiful gorges and the magnificent pools that are found there, the Breggia River. At this point you can see a small bridge that crosses the river from one side to the other.

Punt from Canaa
The deep furrow of the Breggia has always represented a difficult obstacle to crossing the valley. Of the various ways used to pass from one bank to the other, many traces remain within the Park: the oldest is perhaps the Murnée ford. The first indications of the extraordinary bridge built between two rock spurs 35 m above the river bed at the narrowest point of the Gorges date back to 1426: the Farügin bridge (or St. Peter's Bridge. The circular road was built around 1820 between Castel San Pietro and Morbio Superiore which crosses the Breggia with a stone bridge (Punt da Canaa) the large iron bridge (Punt da Castel) was built in 1997, replaced by the current concrete bridge.

stone bridge built between 1820 and 1822, called "ul punt da canaa", because it was located near the water intake for the mill
