Gravina in Puglia Aqueduct Bridge
Ponte Acquedotto di Gravina in Puglia
A 17th-century bridge-style aqueduct spanning the gorge, with a stacked rock-cut old town opposite, made famous by the chase opening of “No Time to Die” (James Bond).
Gravina in Puglia lies about 30 km northwest of Matera, with its old town on the edge of a deep limestone gorge. The so-called “Roman Bridge” is a bridge-style aqueduct built in the 17th century on the foundations of an ancient road. It links the old town with the Church of Our Lady of the Stars, which is on the opposite side. Viewpoints above and below the gorge are ideal for photographing the bridge and the cathedral in one frame. The old town also has an underground cave city, Gravina Sotterranea, which can be visited by reservation. The drive takes about 35 minutes.
