What you'll see
The famous bridge lined with little shops hanging over the Arno, now nearly all jewellers. The best view of it is from the next bridge downstream, Ponte Santa Trinita.
A brief history
A bridge has stood here since Roman times. This one dates from the 14th century and was the only bridge in Florence not destroyed in the Second World War. Butchers once traded here before jewellers took over.
