What river does the Ponte Vecchio cross?

Last updated January 16, 2021 by ZagBot Comment

The Ponte Vecchio bridge crosses the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, connecting the Duomo area with Oltrarno on the south side of the river.

Completed in its current form in 1345, the segmental arch bridge also carries the Vasari Corridor enclosed passageway, added in 1565, which runs between Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti.

The Ponte Vecchio was the only one of Florence’s bridges not destroyed by the German army as they retreated in 1944 during World War II.
