Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge across The Grand Canal (out of the total 4 bridges) and, without a doubt, the most photographed bridges in Venice.

The first bridge over the Grand Canal was a pontoon bridge but as Rialto market developed, the traffic on the bridge increased. It was replaced by a wooden bridge in 1255. During the uprising of 1310, the timber bridge was burnt but it was rebuilt.

However, the new bridge soon collapsed under the weight of the crowds watching a boat parade. Soon after, in 1551, the authorities started to gather proposals for rebuilding Rialto Bridge, but this time, using stone. The present bridge was completed in 1591.

It looks remarkably similar to the wooden bridge it replaced. On either side of the central portico there are cowered ramps housing rows of shops.
