Ponte Thaon di Revel (Thaon di Revel Bridge), La Spezia (must see)
The Thaon di Revel Bridge is a striking modern landmark in La Spezia, connecting the city鈥檚 waterfront to Porto Mirabello. Opened in 2013, this elegant cable-stayed pedestrian bridge spans 150 meters, offering a seamless transition between the historic city center and the modern marina. The bridge鈥檚 sleek white design, inspired by the region鈥檚 maritime heritage, resembles the framework of sailing ships once crafted in local shipyards.
Named after Admiral Paolo Emilio Thaon di Revel, a key figure in Italy鈥檚 naval history, the bridge stands as a symbol of La Spezia鈥檚 connection to the sea. Notably, its central section can be raised to allow larger vessels to pass through, making it not only an architectural gem but also a functional piece of the harbor鈥檚 infrastructure.
Beyond its aesthetic and practical significance, the Thaon di Revel Bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of La Spezia. As visitors walk along the bridge, they can admire the vibrant maritime activity, from fishing boats and ferries to luxury yachts docked at Porto Mirabello. At night, the bridge is illuminated, casting a soft glow over the harbor and creating a romantic and tranquil atmosphere.
