Sospiri Bridge Venice

There are several legends connected with the Sospiri Bridge. The most common focuses on its position. The Sospiri Bridge links the Doge’s Palace with the New Prison. At one time, people walked across the bridge to the underground cells of the Palace. They were, so it was said, locked away in deep dank cells underground. They never returned. The Bridge echoed the sighs they made as they saw Venice for the last time. It is a lovely atmospheric story with little truth to it. You can test the merit of the tale. Arrange to stay in a budget hotel close to the Sospiri Bridge in Venice. Maybe you will hear the sighs of long dead prisoners. One of the more famous prisoners was Casanova.
