Bridge of Sighs - Venice - Italy
Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs is a famous bridge located in Venice, Italy. It is a white stone enclosed bridge that spans the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was built in the early 1600s and is one of the most iconic landmarks in Venice. The bridge is named after the sighs of prisoners who were taken across the bridge to their cells, as they were said to have sighed at their last view of beautiful Venice before being taken away. The bridge is made of white limestone and has two small windows with stone bars. It is a popular tourist attraction and is often featured in photographs and paintings.
