From Tivoli's Gregorian Bridge, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Aniene Gorge, the natural canyon carved by the river, and the Roman Acropolis with its ancient temples. Looking toward the "old" part, you can admire the houses clinging to the rock and the Temple of the Sibyl, which turns golden at sunset. Here's what you can see from the bridge: The Tivoli Gorge: The Aniene River flowing deep within, part of the evocative Villa Gregoriana Park. Roman Temples: The acropolis with the Temple of the Sibyl and the Temple of Vesta, symbols of ancient "Tibur." Historical Panorama: The medieval and historic houses overlooking the chasm, offering a glimpse of old Tivoli. The Great Waterfall: With the surrounding landscape of the gorge. The bridge itself, built in the 19th century by Pope Gregory XVI, is an iconic vantage point located at the entrance to the historic center.
