About Bridge of Sighs

The Bridge of Sighs is a framework arranged in Venice, northern Italy. The encased framework is made of white limestone, has windows with stone bars, overlooks the Rio di Palazzo, and interfaces the New Prison Prigioni Nuove to the round of questioning rooms in the Doge's Palace.

The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last viewpoint of Venice that convicts saw before their confinement. The augmentation's name, given by Lord Byron as an understanding from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri" in the nineteenth century, begins from the recommendation that prisoners would groan at their last viewpoint of brilliant Venice through the window before being conveyed down to their cells.
