Ponte del Diavolo, Lanzo Torinese
Piedmont
The Ponte del Diavolo throws a single pointed arch across a narrow rock cleft where the Stura di Lanzo boils through potholes. A short path from Lanzo reaches it and continues to the river beaches below; a small chapel and the usual pact-with-the-devil story complete the scene.
