The Bridge of Sighs, known in Italian as Ponte dei Sospiri, is an iconic landmark in Venice, Italy. Constructed in 1600, it is crafted from white limestone and features windows with stone bars. This bridge spans the Rio di Palazzo and historically connected the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It is famed for the view it offered to prisoners who would sigh at their final glimpse of Venice before their incarceration, hence its poignant name given by Lord Byron in the 19th century. The Bridge of Sighs remains a symbol of Venice's rich history and architectural ingenuity.
