Bridge of sighs, Venice

Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri)

With the Venetian Bridge of Sighs are associated both romantic and gloomy stories. Legend says that lovers who kiss on the Bridge, will soon tie the knot. Unfortunately, the history of the building is much more sad…
Bridge of Sighs lie beside Palace Canal and connects the Doge’s Palace with the road leading to the prison. Most likely, the name comes from the sighs of convicts, who the last time could look from this bridge to the world. Apart from them, it was also a place of love sighs, missing for their partners. It is no wonder that the bridge was on the cards repeatedly fusing novels and collections of poetry.
