The Bridge of Sighs is one of the most iconic bridges in Venice, though not as big or flashy as others around the world. Made of white limestone, it connects the New Prison to the Doge’s Palace. Today, the bridge is better known as a symbol of love - couples kiss beneath it for eternal love when passing by on a gondola at sunset.
