Bridge of Sighs

This article is still related with Casanova. 
As you can see the Bridge of Sighs is a normal bridge. But it has a deep, interesting history behind it.
It is located in Venice, right where Casanova lived and was built in 1602. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. And some people believe that Casanova had ever passed this bridge and was jailed in the New Prison. 


The bridge of sighs was named by Lord Byron in the 19th century. Its named as the bridge of sighs because the prisoners whoever come to this prison would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. 

If you had a chance to go to Venice as a couple, there is a local legends that says that lovers will be granted eternal love and bliss if they kiss on gondola at sunset under the bridge of sighs.
