Ponte di Rialto The Rialto Bridge has a long history and it has seen various stages of development of Venice. Here are 10 interesting facts about this magnificent and popular bridge. It is the oldest bridge across the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal in Venice is 3800m long and makes a large reverse S shape through the central districts in Venice. Until Accademia Bridge was constructed in 1854, Rialto Bridge was the only place through which one could cross the canal on foot. Rialto Bridge is built on the narrowest point across the canal and connects the districts of San Polo and San Marco. As of today it is one among the four bridges across the Grand Canal. Rialto Bridge was built to provide access to the Rialto. For centuries the Rialto has been the primary financial and commercial center of Venice. It was in 1097 that the Rialto became an important district as Venices market moved there. To provide access to it a floating bridge was built which was called Ponte della Moneta. Due to increased traffic, it was replaced by a wooden bridge in 1264. Connection with the Rialto soon changed its name to Rialto Bridge or Ponte di Rialto. The present Rialto Bridge is similar in design to its wooden predecessor. Da Pontes design of the marble structure has two sloped ramps leading to a central portico to allow the passage of tall ships. The design of the wooden bridge had two inclined ramps which met at a central section which was movable and could be raised to allow ships to pass through.
