Its regularity, symmetry, openness to light, and perfect distance between arches and water surface make it unique. The highlight of the structure are the statues of the angels flanking the marble parapets, which seem to frame the river as it flows, visible through the elegant wrought iron grating.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_329876\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329876\" data-attachment-id=\"329876\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/cliff-divers-leap-from-romes-bridge-of-angels-ahead-of-season-finale\/rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8\/11\/19&lt;br \/&gt;\nrhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Dean Treml\/Red Bull Content Pool&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-329876\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"rhiannan-iffland-australia-2018-red-bull-cliff-diving\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-329876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rhiannan Iffland &#8211; Photo Courtesy: Dean Treml\/Red Bull Content Pool<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008080;\">\u201cIt was a bit surreal standing up and looking around the city with Saint Peter\u2019s right in the back.
