Stock Photo: Venice, Bridge

The Bridge of Sighs (Italian: Ponte dei Sospiri) is in Venice, Italy. It connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was built in 1602. The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.
