The Bridge of Cestius is the stone bridge that connects the Tiber Island with the Trastevere, built in the first century B.C. It is not known whether the name Cestius refers to the original builder or to a restorer. The original bridge was heavily restored in 370. The restoration consisted of a large central arch flanked by a smaller arch on either side; the materials were tufa and peperino faced with travertine. When the Tiber was canalized in the 1870s and 1880s, the bridge was dismantled and redesigned. Many of the original stone blocks have been retained.
