Bridge of Sighs
Built in the late 16th century, this bridge links the Palais des Doges with the prisons. It takes its name from the sighs prisoners would let out upon seeing the marina for the last time before entering the jail. Legend has it the tireless seducer Casanova crossed this bridge on many an occasion.Practical Information

The Bridge of Sighs is one of many bridges in Venice. It passes over the Rio Palazzo No. Canonica and connects the old prisons to the interrogation cells of the Doges Palace. This is one of the city's most famous tourist city. The name Bridge of Sighs suggests sigh expressed by the prisoners brought before the judges at their last look focused on Venice. That was the last image of freedom for those who would end their days in prison, including prisoner cléèbre: Mr Casanova

Le Pont des Soupirs est l'un des nombreux ponts de Venise. Il passe au-dessus du Rio de Palazzo o de Canonica et relie les anciennes prisons aux cellules d'interrogatoires du Palais des Doges. C'est l'un des lieux touristiques les plus célèbres de la ville. Le nom Pont des Soupirs suggère le soupir exprimé par les prisonniers conduits devant les juges, lors de leur dernier regard porté sur Venise. C'était donc la dernière image de la liberté pour ceux qui allaient finir leurs jours en prison, notamment un cléèbre prisonnier : Mr Casanova
