Ponte Santa Trinita

Cross the 16th-century bridge and look along the Arno toward Ponte Vecchio.

What to expect

First built in 1252, Ponte Santa Trinita was reconstructed after the 1557 flood by Bartolomeo Ammannati, using strong pietra forte stone. Its low elliptical arches and four seasonal statues distinguish it from Florence's other historic bridges. The bridge was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt in 1958 to its earlier form.

Entry and costs

Walking across the public bridge and viewing the Arno are free. Boat trips, cafés and interiors along the river are separate paid visits.

Visitor notes

Feel Florence marks the bridge as accessible, but that status does not cover the full route on either bank. The bridge also carries vehicle traffic: use its pedestrian pavement and avoid stopping where the path narrows. The public crossing is a practical alternative to the busier Ponte Vecchio nearby.
