Ponte dei Tre Archi

Three distinct arches span across the Cannaregio Canal, constructed from traditional Venetian brick and white Istrian stone with Baroque architectural elements.

The bridge, initially named San Giobbe Bridge due to its proximity to the church, opened in 1580 and underwent renovation by architect Andrea Tirali in 1681.

Located in a residential section of Venice, the bridge connects the San Giobbe area with Sacca San Girolamo, serving as a meeting point for local inhabitants.

Visitors can reach the bridge by following the Fondamenta San Giobbe along the Cannaregio Canal, approximately 20 minutes walking distance from Santa Lucia station.

Among the 400 bridges crossing Venetian canals, this structure remains the single example featuring a triple-arch design still standing in the entire city.
