The stone bridge across the Grand Canal, standing on 12,000 piles: earlier wooden versions collapsed twice until Antonio da Ponte's design was completed in 1591. Shop lines flank both sides, as they have since the 13th century; from the top of the arch you get the best view of gondolas and Grand Canal palazzi.
