Ponte Chiodo, 15th century brick arch bridge in Cannaregio, Italy.
The Ponte Chiodo crosses the San Felice Canal with a design featuring no railings, measuring 6.84 meters in length and 2.19 meters in height.
Built during the 1400s when Venice was a maritime republic, this bridge reflects the architectural preferences of medieval times when bridges commonly lacked protective barriers.
The structure bears the name of the prominent Chiodo family who maintained residences near this crossing point during the medieval period in Venice.
Located at civic number 3749 in the Cannaregio district, this bridge remains accessible throughout the day and requires careful crossing due to its design.
The Ponte Chiodo stands as the sole remaining bridge without parapets in Venice proper, representing construction methods from an earlier era.
