Venice Rialto Bridge

Pigeons, traffic of boats, famous Palazzi, the Rialto Bridge - all of these highlights are captured by the earthTV camera. In contrast to the multitude of bridges the Rialto Bridge was built very high over the Canale Grande. The remote-controlled TV camera allows a beautiful view over the water and the gondolas on the canal. Among the sights of Venice are the Piazza San Marco, Campanile and Basilica di San Marco.
