The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande, Venetian: Canałasso) forms the principal traffic artery in the city of Venice. The Grand Canal is 3.8 km (2.33miles long), with an average breadth of 70 metres (77 yards) and a depth of 5 metres (16 feet). The canal starts from the lagoon near Santa Lucia railway station, traverses the city from north-west to south-east in a reversed S-curve through the central districts ("sestieri") of Venice, and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin.
The Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) is the oldest of the four bridges that cross the Grand Canal in Venice. The other bridges are the Accademia Bridge (Ponte dell'Accademia), the Scalzi Ponte degli Scalzi) and the Constitution Bridge (Ponte della Costituzione) designed by Santiago Calatrava.
