    Beautiful old bridge displaying Caltagirone's superb ceramics. Small, decorated in Majolica tiles. Great lampposts too. Don't miss it as you walk into town!

    Didn't spend too much time at the agro-tourism place though it looked very inviting and a few basic play things for kids but you have to see this amazing Arabic/Norman bridge, Ponte Calatresi, nearby from the 11th Century though beautifully maintained- and guess what? no orange tape saying: "lavoro in progresso" (and there never is work going on!) which is the bane of Italian historical monuments

    A medieval bridge on the outskirts of Palermo, built during the Norman period in 1131 on the river Oreto. The river was diverted in 1938 due to constant overflows, and now under the Admiral's Bridge you can see a garden.

    This bridge is part of a series of nine civil and religious structures inscribed as Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    I walked to the bridge from Palermo: it took me about 45 minutes from the Central Railway Station to the square where the bridge is located, and I needed to ask directions several times. After this bridge I visited Maredolce Castle (see separate recension).

    Ponte Unbertino is the bridge from Sycause into Ortigia. A combination of six small arches to get from one side to the other. Clear water.

    Located in Termini Imerese less than 2 miles off the main road. It is off the beaten track, but fairly easy to find if one looks it up ahead of time. It is worth a short stop for a few photos. We went there after visiting the castle at Caccamo.

    No denying, it's an experience whether you going over it on the SS115, or under it, say en route via SP54 to Scicli. There's a limit to what you can see when in an average sized car, but even so you sense 'the experience' on this, Sicily's highest bridge. Another approach is to view from a distance, say from near Modica's market along the via Fiumara. There again, you could get an aerial view by watching the opening credits of Montalbano!
