The original Ponte alle Grazie was constructed in
1227. It was rebuilt in 1345 with nine arches,
making it the oldest and longest bridge in
Florence. Two of the arches were filled in during
1347 in order to widen piazza dei Mozzi.
Structures were built on the bridge, much as can
be seen on the modern Ponte Vecchio but these
were eventually abandoned and were removed in
1876 to make way for railway track.

In August 1944, the bridge was destroyed by the
retreating Germans as they withdrew before the
advancing Allied forces in World War II.
Following the end of the War, a competition was
held to create a new design for a replacement
bridge. The new bridge was completed in 1953.

Palazzo Spini Ferroni is a building in piazza
Santa Trinita, the grandest private medieval
house-palace in the city. The palace was built
from 1289 for the rich cloth merchant and banker
Geri Spini, on the lands he had bought from the
monks of Santa Trinita, after the 1288 flood of
the Arno.

One of Florence's most photographed landmarks,
the Ponte Vecchio is Florence's most famous
bridge. The Ponte Vecchio, which spans the Arno
River from Via Por Santa Maria to Via
Guicciardini, is also Florence's oldest bridge,
having been spared from bombing during World War
II.

In 1944, the retreating Germans decided to blow
up the bridges along the Arno linking the
district of Oltrarno to the rest of the city,
thus making it difficult for the British troops
to cross. However, at the last moment Hitler
ordered that the Ponte Vecchio must not be blown
up, as it was too beautiful.
51
Instead an equally historic area of streets
directly to the south of the bridge, including
part of the Corridoio Vasariano, was destroyed
using mines.
52
Since then the bridges have been restored exactly
to their original forms using as many of the
remaining materials as possible, but the
buildings surrounding the Ponte Vecchio have been
rebuilt in a style combining the old with modern
design.

Florence, Italy cradle of the Renaissance Flor
ence's museums, palaces, and churches house some
of the greatest artistic treasures in the world.
The most popular and important sites in Florence
include the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the
Uffizi, the Bargello, and the Accademia. The
churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce
are veritable art galleries, and the library of
San Lorenzo is a magnificent exhibition of
Michelangelo's architectural genius. Wander some
of the oldest streets in the city until you reach
the Arno River, cross the Ponte Vecchio, and
experience the "newest" area of Florence, the
Oltrarno.
