Ponte Gobbo (Devil's Bridge) of Bobbio
Highlight • Bridge
An ancient legend is linked to the construction of the bridge: it is said that the devil contacted San Colombano, offering to build the bridge in a single night, in exchange for the first mortal soul to cross it. The saint accepted the offer. During the night, the devil called some little devils who helped him build the bridge, supporting the vaults with their own strength. These demons varied in height, which led to the creation of differently sized arches in the bridge. At dawn, the devil showed up at the end of the bridge to collect his "reward". Saint Columbanus sent a little dog to the devil as payment. Deceived, the devil returned to hell, but not before kicking his creation, causing the tilt that gives the bridge its characteristic "hunchback" appearance.
