The Bridges of Florence Italy - By visitaflorencia.com

Описание: THE BRIDGES OF FLORENCE
The Etruscans, as early as the 7th century BC, probably had either a bridge or a ferry near the present day Ponte Vecchio. The first documentation of a bridge appears in 996 and notes a wood and stone structure at the point where the Roman city street, via Cassia, crossed the river.

Ponte all Carraia:
Ponte alla Carraia is the next bridge to the east after Ponte Santa Trinita. The first mention of a bridge at this site is 1218. Like the other Florentine Arno bridges, Ponte alla Carraia was destroyed by floods and rebuilt many times.

Ponte Santa Trinita:
Ponte Santa Trìnita, Holy Trinity Bridge, is the first bridge to the east of the Ponte Vecchio. Like the Ponte Vecchio, Ponte Santa Trinita has a long, Florentine history. The first bridge at this site was built in the 1250s.

PonteVecchio:
The Ponte Vecchio, old bridge, is the oldest surviving bridge in Florence and has existed in one form or another since Roman times as noted above. Repeated floods destroyed the bridge many times, but it was always rebuilt. Today’s version dates from a reconstruction in 1345 as noted by Giorgio Visari.

Ponte alle Grazie:
The first bridge at the site of Ponte alle Grazie was built in 1227. In 1345, a nine arch bridge replaced it, but it was soon modified with arches reduced to 7 when 2 were filled to create a wider Piazza dei Mozzi.
