The Ponte di Rialto, or the Rialto Bridge, was a landmark that connected the San Marco and San Polo districts of Venice across the Grand Canal, serving as a dividing line between the two.
The bridge was not only notable for the size of its large arch, but also for its main walkway lined with shops and stalls, which was a vibrant strolling and meeting place for the community around it.
