Venice - Bridge of Sighs

If Steven was a prisoner, this would be his last view of Venice.

Right next to one of the largest and grandest rooms in all of Europe, where the doges presided, is a back entrance to a number of prison cells.  Prisoners crossed the "Bridge of Sighs" either to a cell or the gallows.  As they crossed the bridge, they had their last view of Venice.  On the day we visited, the sun was shining and the views were wonderful.  We fully understood why this passage has been named the bridge of sighs.
