Among the more than 400 bridges in Venice, in addition to the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto Bridge is very famous. Located almost in the middle of Venice's S-shaped Grand Canal, it was built in the 13th century as a wooden bridge, later a marble bridge. The Rialto Bridge is 48 meters long, 22 meters wide, and 7 meters above the water. Both ends of the bridge are supported by 12,000 wooden piles inserted into the water. The bridge body is all made of white marble. There is a beautiful pavilion in the middle of the bridge. There are many exquisite carvings on the bridge body. It can be said that the bridge itself is like a delicate work of art. The bridge attracted tourists from all over the world, and everyone rushed to take pictures on the bridge. Standing on the bridge, the medieval style lingers. The middle of the bridge is a good spot to photograph the Grand Canal. Similarly, if you take a gondola or cruise, you can also take a panoramic view of the Rialto Bridge from the boat.
