Milvian Bridge

Rome offers bridges throughout the city to cross over the Tiber River but the Ponte Milvio Bridge, also known as the Milvian Bridge offers more than just a pathway to the other side. The other day a group of us had gone to Rome's Milvian Bridge. The Milvian Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in Rome that was built in 206 B.C. Italy's citizens as well as tourists visit this bridge to resemble their love.

The walk was far and the look of the bridge is a little unsightly but the fairytale of this bridge was worth it. This bridge is aligned with locks and graffiti that state love quotes or sayings along the sides. The bridge is filled with padlocks on various chains located along the bridge that represent everlasting love. It is said that couples are to bring a padlock, can be written on and any size, lock it to one of the chains and toss the spare key to the lock into the Tiber River.
