Ponte alle Grazie, Concrete bridge in Florence, Italy.
The Ponte alle Grazie stretches 150 meters across the Arno River with four slender piers and thin arches connecting the central Florence to Oltrarno district.
The original bridge from 1237, called Ponte di Rubaconte, contained nine arches and numerous structures including chapels and hermitages before its destruction in World War II.
The bridge received its name from a small oratory containing an icon of Madonna Alle Grazie, which stood on one of its pylons during medieval times.
The 14.5-meter-wide structure provides essential passage for pedestrians and vehicles between Santa Croce district and the southern bank of Florence.
Architects Giovanni Michelucci, Edoardo Detti, and Riccardo Gizdulich designed the current reinforced concrete bridge through a post-war competition in 1953.
