il TRENTUNO di luglio

Ponte Vecchio, 31r
A gold store on the Ponte Vecchio. Every time I cross the Ponte Vecchio I thank Ferdinando I (a Medici, of course) for forcing the butchers and fishmongers to leave the bridge and replacing them with goldsmiths.


A bridge in this location has been crossing the Arno since Roman times, but this particular bridge dates back to the 1300s.

See anything you like?

Dear Readers, this blog challenge ended up being a little more challenging than I thought it would be. I'm looking forward to just taking pictures of strange things in Lawrence .... which are easy to find wherever I go.
