Ponte Vecchio (Italian: “Old Bridge”) – Florence, Italy
Built in 1345 over the Arno River. A magnificent engineering achievement. The only bridge which survived the German Retreat in WWII. The Ponte Vecchio roadway carries a two-story gallery, the upper gallery connecting the neighbouring palaces, and the lower providing space for shops, most of which still exist. Taken in May, 2003.
