The Bridge of Sighs is one of the most emblematic places in Venice: located in such a position as to overlook Rio di Palazzo, this Istrian stone bridge connects the Palazzo Ducale to the Palazzo delle Prigioni. The name attributed to it derives from the long sigh that the prisoners made as they crossed it, aware that this would be the last time they would see the outside world. The Bridge of Sighs can be admired from Riva degli Schiavoni, while the visit is included in the ticket to the Doge's Palace or in the visit to the Palazzo delle Prigioni.
