Introduction
The Rialto Bridge is the oldest stone span across Venice's Grand Canal, completed in 1591, famous for its single row of shops and a central viewing loggia. It links San Marco with the old market, and from it you watch boats ply the waterway — a microcosm of Venice's unbroken thousand-year commerce, and a fixture of painters' and tourists' lenses.
