It is situated at about 3 Km from the centre of town, resting on pilings built from oak wood embedded in concrete. It is articulated in five round arches and supported by huge cuspidal pillars.
It is attested by various documents, among which those kept in the State Archives of Foggia, that the bridge has had in the course of the centuries, numerous interventions of maintenance and restaurations at the raised part, leaving the pillars, the back and the concrete bed untouched.
