The Ponte Vecchio (Firenze)

The Ponte Vecchio (The old bridge) is one of many bridges over the Arno river in Florence. This beautiful medieval bridge was destroyed and rebuilt many times, but unlike all other bridges in Florence, it was not destroyed during World War II (apparently Hitler was fond of it?!)
The shops built along it were once butchers shops that are now transformed to jewellery, art and souvenir shops.
