Of the 21 bridges that are now marked on the map of Rome, only four were built in the Middle Ages. Two of them, the Cestius Bridge and the Fabricius Bridge, connected the island of Tiberina with the city itself, the other - Pons Aelius - led to the famous castle of St. Angelo, and the last - Pons Aemilius – began in the area of the Pishinula Square.

In 179 BC, Fulvius Nobilior and Aemilius Lepidus built a bridge named after one of them, the Aemilius Bridge. But it was quickly destroyed by the flood and only its central part survived. Soon, Emperor Paul III set out to restore the sights of Rome, and the bridge was among those structures that needed repair. Michelangelo was chosen for this work, but he did not agree with Pavel and the order was given to Nanni di Baccio Biggio. This architect designed a rather elegant structure, but somewhere he made a mistake with calculations, because the bridge stood for only five years, after which it was destroyed anew.

The following rulers considered the further restoration of the bridge to be quite expensive and no further attempts at global reconstruction were made. Periodically, it was patched up with ordinary boards, but another flood swept them away. As a result, it was decided to build another Palatine bridge next to this bridge, made of durable iron structures. And the first bridge, named the Destroyed Bridge (Ponte Rotto), is now only reminded of its central part, which it was decided not to demolish and leave as a landmark. The bridges connecting the island are much better preserved. The only thing is that the Cestius Bridge was slightly patched up at 370 from the Trastevere side.

The Bridge of the Holy Angel began from the mausoleum of Hadrian and served as the main ferry for pilgrims. In 1450, during the celebration of the emperor's jubilee, it was packed to the brim with people and, unable to withstand the weight, collapsed. Sixtus IV, who ruled at that time, was extremely disappointed by this and by his next anniversary he ordered the construction of another bridge nearby. He was proud of this fact until the end of his days, as he became the first ruler after the fall of the Roman Empire to build a bridge. It is also an interesting fact that most of the funds spent on the construction of the structure were taken from the "priestesses of love", and not from budget money. A common practice at the time of the grandiose construction was to increase taxes on prostitutes, from whom tribute was collected in double and triple amounts.
