The visit to the Prisons begins with a small downhill staircase that leads from the Sala del Magistrato alle Leggi into a narrow corridor that is nothing more than one of the two crossings of the famous Bridge of Sighs. "The Bridge of Sighs" was built in 1614 to join the Doge's Palace to the adjacent building for the New Prisons. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Rooms of the Magistrate to the Laws and the Quarantia Criminal on the main floor of the Doge's Palace; the other connects the Prisons with the Avogaria Rooms and the Parlor. Both corridors are also connected to the service staircase that goes from the Wells up to the Piombi. The famous nickname of "bridge of sighs" dates back to the romantic era, and refers to the sigh of the prisoner who, leaving the court of the Palace, crosses the canal crossing the bridge to reach the cell in which he will serve his sentence and can barely glimpse, through the small windows, the lagoon, San Giorgio, freedom. From the bridge you can access the New Prisons.
The bridge of sighs connects the court at Ducale Palace with the prison across the canal.
You can ride "a gondola" to see the Bridge of Sighs and Ducale Palace.
Venice's gondola is a specialty that has been running since the 11th century and has a slim hull and a flat floor, making it suitable for passing through a narrow and shallow canal.
The Dogana gondola station is located on the Grand Canal, just minutes away from Saint Mark's Square, facing the world famous Harry's Bar.
