To celebrate his wedding anniversary, father's day and St. Joseph feast, José hosted a lottery and I was one of the lucky winners. The prize was a Rialto Bridge card.
José's card is the 2nd one with the gondola and the 1st was bought my me, not sure whether it was in Venice or in Rome.
The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. For nearly three hundred years, it was the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot. The stone bridge, a single span designed by Antonio da Ponte, was completed in 1591 and was used to replace a wooden bridge that collapsed in 1524.
The engineering of the bridge was considered so audacious that some architects predicted a future collapse. The bridge has defied its critics to become one of the architectural icons of Venice. - in: https://www.touropia.com/tourist-attractions-in-venice/
