A week in Venice (day 3): The Rialto Bridge


Never posted and undated, but found in a collection most of which date from between the First and Second World Wars.

Never posted. Bought on my first trip to Venice 1970.

The oldest bridge in Venice, the Rialto Bridge must be one of the most easily recognised landmark. Until the mid 1800s, it was the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot.

  3. We went in 2003 for our wedding anniversary. It was the year the heatwave hit all or most of Europe. It was sweltering, but still a wonderful place.

  4. Is still the same these days, it is a beautiful sight seeing people up there and the gondolas below! I took a lot of photos too!
