Following a competition for a permanent replacement for the boat bridge and three wooden bridges which had spanned the Canal Grande at various times since the 12th century, Antonio da Ponte and his nephew, Antonio Contino, won the contract over such luminaries as Michelangelo and Palladio.
Designed and built in 1588-1592, it remained the only way to cross on foot until 1853, when the Ponte Accademia went up.
Constructed on some 12,000 wooden pilings which still support the bridge more than 400 years later, the bridge's 24-foot arch was designed to allow passage of armed galleys beneath.
