Bridge of Sighs, Bridge in Venice, Italy
The Bridge of Sighs is a white limestone bridge with windows and stone bars.
Built in 1600, the bridge was used to transport prisoners from the interrogation rooms to the prison cells.
It's called 'Bridge of Sighs' because prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.
You can see the bridge from the Ponte della Canonica or the Ponte della Paglia, which both offer good viewpoints.
Despite its grim history, it's considered one of the finest examples of bridge architecture in the world.
