The Ponte Rialto (Rialto Bridge) is one of the most famous buildings in Venice.
Die Ponte Rialto (deutsch: Rialtobrücke) ist eine der bekanntesten Bauten Venedigs. Mit einer Länge von 84 m, einer Breite von 22 m und einer maximalen Durchfahrtshöhe von 7,50 m überspannt sie den Canale Grande, den Hauptwasserweg der Stadt. Der Name "Rialto" stammt von "rivo alto", was "hohes Ufer" bedeutet, denn der Stadtteil Rialto ist der höchste über dem Wasserspiegel. Bis Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts gab es über dem Canale Grande nur Holzbrücken, die aber schnellem Verfall preisgegeben waren und leicht zerstört werden konnten. Um 1507 beschloss die Stadt Venedig dann, eine Brücke aus Stein zu errichten – wirklich gebaut wurde sie aber erst 80 Jahre später. Die Rialto Brücke war von ihrer Eröffnung im Jahre 1591 bis zur Vollendung der Ponte dell'Accademia 1854 der einzig mögliche Fußweg über den Kanal.

Directions
On the A57 and SS11 to VeniceParking
The city is car-free. There are limited parking options in three multi-storey car parks in Piazzale Roma and in the Tronchetto multi-storey car park, but these are very expensive. It is therefore better to park in Mestre on the mainland and take the train to the centre (10 minutes).Coordinates
