Ponte del Paradiso, Stone bridge in Castello district, Venice, Italy

The Ponte del Paradiso spans across Rio del Mondo Novo canal with dimensions of 5.45 meters in length and 3.6 meters in width.

The bridge features a fifteenth-century marble arch between two adjacent houses, which once displayed the coats of arms of Foscari and Mocenigo families.

The name Paradise may derive from painter Nicoletto Semitecolo, who signed his works as Nicolaus Paradisi and lived in this neighborhood.

The bridge stands 2.17 meters high and connects pedestrian routes through the Castello district, serving local residents and visitors throughout the year.

A marble Madonna sculpture adorns the Gothic arch above the bridge, marking a significant example of Venetian architectural decoration.
