Description

Corleone Bridge (also known as the bridge over the river Oreto or "bridge of suicide"): It is among the oldest, perhaps the oldest of the bridges crossing the river, but its origins are unknown. Destroyed by a flood in 1720, it is likely that it was a link along the road that leads from Palermo to Corleone. In 1962 in the same area it was built another, which bears the same name and allows to pass the river.
