🇮🇹 The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most iconic bridges in Florence, Italy. It is the oldest bridge in the city (Ponte Vecchio literally translates to “old bridge”), and one of the oldest segmental arch bridges in the world. 🙌 Originally, the buildings on the Ponte Vecchio housed apartments and workshops, as well as butcher shops. Later, the business premises were given to goldsmiths and silversmiths. 😍 Have you ever visited the beautiful bridge? | DW Euromaxx

Once upon a time, this bridge was the heart of Florence. A place where merchants, artists, and lovers crossed paths for centuries. Built in the 14th century, Ponte Vecchio is the only bridge in Florence that survived World War II — Hitler himself ordered it to be spared. Above the shops runs the secret Vasari Corridor, where the Medici family once walked unseen over the Arno. Today, the bridge glows with gold — the same jewelry tradition continues here for more than 400 years. Stand here at suns
