The Ponte dei Sospiri, or "Bridge of Sighs," connects an old prison to Doge's Palace - the seat of Venice's government for many centuries. According to legend, criminals travelled over the enclosed bridge on their way to prison. Before arriving at their cells, they would get one last look at Venice in all its beauty before heaving a breathtaking sigh.
