Rialto Bridge
Category: Places to see
Time: all year
It is the oldest and most famous of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal, the only one existing before the nineteenth century. The work was completed in four years, in 1591. The achievement was not easy because of the audacity of the project, which with its 7.5 meters in height allows the passage of boats, and the instability of the ground.
The bridge is flanked by shops on both sides and has always been a perfect point to admire the Grand Canal.
