This is in fact the only surviving bridge from the medieval days of Florence&#8217;s history. The others were all ruined in the Second World War. Today the Ponte Vecchio has many shops selling gold and jewellery. One also likes to get the best views from the bridge and is a fascinating experience.</p>
