As its name Ponte del Diavolo, the locals put this bridge with a most talk about folk lore which put this bridge and the devil together,hence named Devil's bridge. Aside from the story, this bridge connects locals on both sides of the River Natisone. The panorama views from the bridge is breathtaking and is a vantage point for some good postcard photo shoots. The story was about the constant failures of building this bridge time after time. The legend has it that Devil promised to help the construction in exchange of a living soul for the price. Without sacrificing any human life locals sent a cat (or dog) to cross the bridge to the Devil as was promised. The bridge has since been staying in place. The best place to take the pictures of the bridge is the park area behind St. Martin in Borgo Di Ponte.

The turquoise water flowing down from the Dolomites makes this a beautiful sight in this charming town. We even heard one passerby say "ciao, bella!" to another, just like in the movies ;-).

Fantastic view over one of the most beautiful rivers of the region. You can climb down to the shore just beneath the bridge and watch the cristal-clear blue water from a very good position.

Dramatic bridge with surrounding medieval buildings. On Sunday some shops open and restaurants excellent.
