Description

The city's first bridge across the Grand Canal was the Rialto Bridge, or Ponte di Rialto. In 1180, the first bridge was built, and in 1588-92, this more robust marble one. The area surrounding the bridge was full of major city activities, and still is. For 700 years, the new produce and the fish markets have been there.
