Arched high over the Grand Canal, Ponte di Rialto is the most famous of the city's bridges. Built several times, today's bridge was constructed by Antonio di Ponte in 1591. It is in the centre of the city's old trading area and trades such as wine, coal and iron are still reflected in the nearby street names. To this day, shops are strung along this famous bridge, selling jewellery, linens and Murano glass. The area is also famous for its bustling fruit & veg market. The bridge itself is neck-deep in stalls selling tourist tat. Until 1854, this was the only point at which the Grand Canal could be crossed on foot.
