Ponte di Rialto

Grand Canal, Venice, Italy

 

For a long time this was the only way to cross the Canal Grande. There was a bridge here at the end of the 12th century, but the current one, designed by Antonio da Ponte, was built 1554-1591. There are now lots of shops on the bridge selling all kinds of souvenirs and curiosities and fresh fruit, vegetable and fish markets line the streets in the bustling neighborhood. While a second bridge was built in 1854, this bridge is still an important historical landmark and always a bright spot for tourists.
