Venice, Italy | Rialto Bridge (Ponte Rialto) & Grand Canal (Canal Grande)

Venice is a city in northeastern Italy, built on a group of 118 small islands, separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. It is a major Italian port to the Adriatic Sea and the capital of both the Provincia di Venezia and the Regione di Veneto. Venice is unique environmentally, architecturally, and historically and therefore, the lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was styled la Serenissima (“the most serene”) in the medieval Europe, when it was the greatest seaport and the commercial and cultural link to Asia. One of the world’s oldest tourist and cultural centres, Venice is renowned not only for its beauty but also for its Venetian glass produced in the Island of Murano and the lace produced in the Island of Burano.
Grand Canal (Canal Grande) is the main waterway of Venice, following a natural channel that traces a reverse-S course from San Marco Basilica to Santa Chiara Church and divides the city into two parts. Grand Canal has an average depth of 5 metres, it is more than 3 km long and between 30 and 70 metres wide.
Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) is a stone arch bridge crossing over the Grand Canal, the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Located in the heart of Venice at the the narrowest point of the Grand Canal and connecting the sestieri (districts) of San Marco and San Polo, Rialto Bridge was built in 1173 as a pontoon bridge and rebuilt several times since then. Rialto Bridge is as an architectural and engineering achievement of the Renaissance and it is significant tourist attraction in the city.
