Ponte Santa Trìnita (Italian for ‘Holy Trinity Bridge’) is a Renaissance bridge in Florence, Italy, spanning the River Arno. The bridge is 32 meters long and it is the oldest elliptic arch bridge in the world, characterised by three flattened ellipses.
Four ornamental statues of the Seasons were added to the bridge in 1608, as part of the wedding celebrations of Cosimo II de' Medici.
Ponte Santa Trìnita was destroyed by retreating German troops in 1944, then the bridge was reconstructed in 1958 with original stones raised from the River Arno.
There is a gelato shop at one end of Ponte Santa Trìnita, which has the flavor of Santa Trinità.
Santa Trinità is a mixture of chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavors. You can taste three flavors at one time, which is very satisfying. However, Choumeizai likes the pistachio flavor more.
In addition, this shop has seats, where tourists can comfortably enjoy the gelato before continuing their sightseeing.
