Ponte degli Scalzi

The Ponte degli Scalzi spans 40 meters across the Grand Canal with a single white Istrian stone arch connecting Santa Croce and Cannaregio districts.

Engineer Eugenio Miozzi designed this stone bridge in 1932 to replace an iron structure from 1858, completing construction in October 1934.

The bridge stands as one of four crossings over the Grand Canal, reflecting the engineering methods that shaped transportation throughout Venice.

Travelers arriving at Santa Lucia railway station can access central Venice directly across this pedestrian bridge, which handles substantial foot traffic daily.

The structure demonstrates pure architectural minimalism through its clean lines and complete absence of decorative elements, contrasting with typical Venetian ornate designs.
