The Ponte delle Guglie (Spiers Bridge) crosses the Cannaregio Canal. It is the only Venetian bridge adorned with pinnacles, placed at the base of the handrails: the spiers from which it takes its name.
At first it was built of wood and was a drawbridge (1258) to allow the transit of merchant ships. Rebuilt in stone in 1580 and later restored (1641 and 1677), it was rebuilt in 1823 with the addition of the four spiers that characterize it.
It has access for the disabled.
