Florence Bridges and Viaducts

Florence’s bridges span centuries of architectural evolution along the Arno River. This collection highlights the transition from the medieval Ponte Vecchio, famous for its overhanging goldsmith shops, to the 16th-century elliptic arches of Ponte Santa Trinita. Modern engineering is represented by the record-breaking earth-anchored cable-stayed Indiano Bridge and functional viaducts like the Ponte della Vittoria, which replaced older structures destroyed during World War II. These crossings provide essential transit and unique vantage points of the city's historic skyline.
