The Bridge of Sighs, or Ponte dei Sospiri in Italian, is one of Venice's most iconic landmarks. Built in the early 17th century, it connects the Doge's Palace to the historic prison. The bridge's name comes from the romanticized notion that prisoners would sigh as they caught their last glimpse of Venice through its windows before being taken to their cells.
