Overview

The Bridge of Sighs, or Ponte dei Sospiri, is one of Venice’s most famous and evocative landmarks.

Built in 1600, this enclosed limestone bridge connects the interrogation rooms of the Doge’s Palace to the historic prisons across the Rio di Palazzo.

Its name comes from the legend that prisoners would sigh as they caught their last glimpse of Venice through the small stone-barred windows before being led to their cells.

Designed by architect Antonio Contin, the bridge is a masterpiece of Baroque elegance, featuring finely carved stonework and a graceful arch that contrasts its somber history.

Visible only from the outside unless accessed through a visit to the Doge’s Palace, the bridge is not just an architectural marvel but also a symbol of Venice’s once-mighty justice system.

A stroll across the Bridge of Sighs offers a moving connection to the city’s past—a blend of beauty, mystery, and melancholy that leaves a lasting impression on every visitors.
