The Ponte Vecchio is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence,
Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common.
Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are
jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. The Ponte Vecchio's two
neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Santa Trinita and the Ponte alle Grazie.
