Outside the `Bridge of Sighs` #156968440
Description
The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge in Venice, Italy. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone, has windows with stone bars, passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge`s Palace. The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge`s English name was bequeathed by Lord Byron in the 19th century as prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.
