Along the banks of the river Amstel a city developed that depended on the water for its survival. At one time water was even more important than dry land. After all, it was the water that allowed tradesmen to transport goods from A to B; it served to keep the enemy out and last but not least it contributed to the beauty of the city. No wonder Amsterdam is often called the Venice of the North . In the course of time the number of bridges steadily increased.

The barrels, boxes, spices, wine and oil perfumes which were unloaded on the bank of the GrandCanal were housed in the warehouses called &quot fondaci &quot. During the day the goods brought outdoors were sold on the stalls around the church of San Giovanni Elemosinaro. The market could be reached by an opening in the bridge called the monete which today can be seen only in a picture in the collection of the Academy of Fine Arts. The bridge, painted by Carpaccio was replaced with that planned by Antonio da Ponte, - built in stone on a single arch -, in the second half of a fifteenth century.

Work on the road began in 1834 and as the work progressed the question of a bridge across the Kenmare River was discussed.
