1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #605 - Bridge of Sighs, Venice

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #605
 
- Bridge of Sighs, Venice

 

(This bridge is for prisoners moving from the Palazzo Ducale courthouse to their jail, but has become a crowd favourite here in Venice - the 'sigh' is supposedly from these prisoners sighing, as they realised they will be missing the beauty of Venice on their way to jail. Once here, you can understand why - the shades of grey, the reflection from the canal water and of course, the busy gondolas starting their 80euro trips to the inner canals)
