Costruito nel primo secolo avanti Cristo per sostituire un preesistente ponte in legno, Ponte Pietra è il più antico monumento romano di Verona e forse anche il più suggestivo. Esso univa l'originario tracciato della via Postumia con il colle antistante in corrispondenza di un guado, utilizzato sin dalla notte dei tempi. Delle sue cinque arcate solo le due a sinistra, edificate in pietra bianca, risalgono all'epoca romana; l'arcata centrale e quella successiva, realizzate in mattoni, appartengono ad una ricostruzione eseguita nel 1520; l'ultima arcata sulla destra risale ad un rifacimento medioevale voluto nel 1298 da Alberto I della Scala. In tale occasione il ponte fu dotato anche della MINACCIOSA TORRE DIFENSIVA POSTA ALLA SUA TESTA e ornata verso il fiume da un arco in pietra sormontato dall'emblema degli Scaligeri. Ponte Pietra è imponente e rustico, dotato d'una bellezza che risiede in quel suo originale susseguirsi di materiali e stili diversi ma sempre tra loro felicemente intonati, che si armonizzano in un "insieme suggestivo e scenografico, contraddistinto da un particolare cromatismo per i bianchi e i rossi mescolati con geniale casualità, così da ottenere una costruzione romanticamente spettacolare in cui si fondono la classicità romana e la fastosa semplicità del Romanico medioevale" (P. Fabbri, Arte e storia di Verona). Bello di giorno, offre il meglio di sé durante la notte, quando una sapiente illuminazione e il silenzio in cui si ode l'acqua stagliarsi contro le pile, lo rendono uno dei luoghi più romantici dell'intera città. Anch'esso purtroppo, come accaduto per tutti i ponti di Verona, è stato oggetto dello scempio nazista durante la seconda Guerra Mondiale. Fatto saltare il 24 aprile 1945 dai tedeschi in fuga, è stato fedelmente ricostruito utilizzando esclusivamente i materiali originali recuperati dal letto del fiume.
