Ponte delle Guglie

The Ponte delle Guglie crosses the Cannaregio Canal with a length of 16.56 meters, a width of 8.44 meters, and a height of 3.75 meters.

Built in 1580, this Istrian stone bridge represents a significant example of Venetian engineering during the late Renaissance period of infrastructure development.

The bridge serves as a central meeting point in Cannaregio, connecting the Jewish Ghetto with the main routes to Piazzale Roma and Santa Lucia station.

Visitors can access the bridge from multiple directions, making it a key crossing point for those traveling between Venice's train station and San Marco district.

Decorative stone spires adorn the base of the handrails, making it the only Venetian bridge with such architectural elements.
