Description
There are several bridges spanning the Arno River as it flows through Florence, Italy. The Ponte Santa Tr�ta (Italian for Holy Trinity Bridge), seen here, is the oldest elliptic arch bridge in the world. Its three flattened ellipses give the structure its celebrated elegant appearance. This photograph was taken from the famous Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence and home to numerous gold jewelry shops, which crosses the Arno River near the also-famous Uffizi Gallery.
