Here are images from the Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs). The bridge was built in the year 1600 to connect the Doge's prisons with the offices of inquisition in the palace. The phrase "bridge of sighs was a reference to the sound the prisoners made as they crossed the bridge to the executioner.
