As late as the 19th century the Rialto Bridge was the only bridge crossing the Grand Canal of Venice. The Ponte di Rialto was built on the bend of the Grand Canal as it turns in a northwest direction through the city of Venice, Italy. The bridge one sees today was finished in 1592, and took three years to build from a design by Antonio da Ponte.
