Friday - Bridges
Saturday & Sunday - Random category

Today's category is Bridges.

Can you name this Bridge? Bonus if you can also name the city where the bridge is located.

Here are your clues:
* This bridge was originally built in 1173, and rebuilt several times since
* It is the oldest of the 4 bridges over its body of water
* This is a stone arch covered bridge, 32 m (105 ft) long
* Most of the boats that pass under the bridge are manually-powered boats containing tourists
* There is a stone relief of one of the Apostles on the side of the bridge

Please don't cheat by looking it up or seeing what others are posting.

Make your guess in the opinions below.

The correct answer will be given in a few days (Sunday).

Good luck!

The correct answer is REALTO BRIDGE over the Grand Canal in Venice.

I will guess this:

" It is the oldest of the 4 bridges over its body of water"

The Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, and Queensboro Bridges all cross the East River immediately east of Manhattan. On maps, the East River continues north and east to the Long Island Sound, but most people don't think of it like that. But, those bridges that I just listed at the 4 main bridges into Manhattan from Long Island. The oldest of those is the Brooklyn Bridge, originally called The East River Bridge, opened in 23 MAY 1883. Back then, the City of New York was just Manhattan and Brooklyn was an independent city. However, because of the bridge, the modern City of Greater New York was born in 1898 with the other 3 bridges all opened within 15 years.

Very interesting analysis. But I don't think any of the East River bridges were built 850 years ago, and the East River is more than 105 feet wide.

Oh, these clues are all for a single bridge?
OK...

[abc3643]

Well, from this clue:
"* Most of the boats that pass under the bridge are manually-powered boats containing tourists"
That's Venice and the age is right.
I know the answer so I will leave it to someone else to solve.

I guess that it's one of the bridges in Venice, Italy? The only one I could name is ''Rialto''.

[purplepoppy]

Manual powered tourist boats suggests Venice and gondolas. I've never been and the only bridge I've heard of is the bridge of sighs

[AviatorTom]

Very close

[Paul_in_Indy]

I think it’s the Rialto. The bridge os sighs is in Oxford. ;)

[OlderAndWiser]

I am clueless on this one.

[SnowedIn]

Tom, you've stumped me. Hopefully this silences all those who complained that your questions being too easy.

I'm going to grab my coffee and watch on the sidelines.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

I have no idea!! Lol! I am so curious though that bridge sounds amazing!

I bet it is one of those bridges in Venice that you see in the movies. I don't know what they call it.
