The Bridge of the Saracens is a bridge built in stone and dating from the ninth century on the river Simeto. It connects the territory of Adrano with that of Centuripe, through the step of Pecoraio, and to the detriment of the name it is a Norman building.

It is 4 kilometers from the city of Adrano: this is the Bridge of the Saracens remained in Europe. Built over the ruins of the point of Roman, in Arab-Gothic, allowing you to connect the two banks of the river Simeto. It had several reconstructions in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, and even in the recent 80 years.

The bridge originally was part of an important road that linked the city of Troina, first capital of the kingdom of Roger I of Hauteville, with Catania. After crossing the bridge the road ran along the Simeto downstream of the city of Adrano and Paterno. In fact, the dungeons of these cities and to Motta, along with the bridge, are historically and strategically linked: the road served by the bridge was controlled militarily by the aforementioned towers.

Il ponte scavalca un tratto delle forre laviche (conformazioni basaltiche) presenti in quella zona. Quella attuale è solo una parte dell’antica struttura,infatti  solo l'arcata maggiore, centrale, ad arco acuto fanno parte del ponte originale. Le altre arcate, una più piccola a sesto acuto e un'altra a tutto sesto di probabile origine romana, andarono distrutte durante l'alluvione del 1948, e ricostruite in seguito, seppur diverse dalle originali.
