<p>The Ponte Vecchio (&quot;Old Bridge&quot;) is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the river Arno. The only bridge in Florence spared from destruction during World War II, it is noted for the shops built along it; building shops on such bridges was once a common practice. Butchers, tanners, and farmers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers, and souvenir sellers. <br />
