History
This bridge connected Bastelica to Ajaccio in the 16th century, and was abandoned when the RF 1 was constructed. 19 metres long, 2.80 metres wide, its single round arch has a span of approximately 10 metres. It is built arched-back, as were most bridges of that period. The parapets and deck surfacing have disappeared.
