Rialto Bridge
Latest update: 28 April 2022
The Rialto Bridge was completed in 1591 and spans the Grand Canal in Venice. The landmark bridge is a quite unique structure: built completely from stone, its decorative archway is high enough for the Venice water buses to pass underneath it.
The central walkway of the bridge is lined with two covered rows of shops while each external side faces out on to the canal. |
