To connect the Doge's Palace and the New Prisons is another of the Venice emblems - The Bridge of Sight.
Suspended over a tiny waterway, the bridge, of majestic Baroque architecture, is the symbol of the rigid legal system of the Venetian Republic.
The bridge of white Istrian stone is entirely enclosed and has only two windows per side. The legend has it that while walking toward the harsh cells of the jail, prisoners glimpsed for the last time the beautiful lagoon and sights. Hence - the name.
