Ponte vecchio Firenze

It dates back to Roman times and has often been re-built.
After the flooding of 1333 it was re-constructed with a double row of shops, passing from a defencive type of architecture to the actual public one. In 1565 the east-facing Vasariano Corridor above the shops was built and the back-shops were added in the seventeenth century giving the bridge its actual structure.
