the fourth bridge on the Gran Canal in Venice

This new bridge shows the aim of Venice to become a model for contemporary architecture and art.
The two bridge shoulders were carried on board on the night between the 27th and 28th July and put up during the following two days, 28th and 19th July. The central arch - which is 60 mt long and weighs 270 tonns - has arrived just today and it will be placed between 11th and 12th August.
There is a new symbol in Venice, the fourth bridge projected by Santiago Calatrava.

If you are spending an holiday in hotel Venice don't miss to visit this incredible architectural structure.
