The ponte di Veja is a pictoresque and majestic natural arch of rock, which was formed thanks to the collapse of the inner part of a huge karstic cavern. It is located in a small valley at 602 m.a.s.l., its height is 50 m and the arch has a thickness of about 10 m and a medium width of 17 m. Underneath the fallen rocks of the vault and inside two karstic caverns (the one in the north has a length of 170 m) at the base of the bridge several signs of the middle and lower Paleolithic period have been found. In the course of history the ponte di Veja has been visited by illustrious people: in fact, traditionally Dante Alighieri was inspired by the Ponte di Veja for the description of the “Malebolge” in his “Divina Commedia” , while Andrea Mantenga portrayed it several times in his paintings.
