    Ponte di Rialto

    From the outside, Rialto Bridge immediately captures students’ attention with its graceful stone arch spanning the Grand Canal and the rows of small shops built right into the structure. First constructed in the late 16th century, it replaced earlier wooden bridges and quickly became one of Venice’s most important crossings—linking busy trading areas on both sides of the water.
