This bridge was built between 1588 and 1591 to span the Grand Canal and remained the only way to cross the canal by foot until 1854 with the addition of the Academia Bridge! The Rialta Bridge has three walkways one of which was designed to allow passage of galleys.
It is especially pretty at Sunset

Loved the reflection of Jack in the gondola! We saw Venice in a much different light–Cold, foggy, but Christmastime with processions on donkeys and families out for a stroll.
