Ponte della Paglia

Venice Bridges Hits: 1519

The Ponte della Paglia (Straw Bridge) crosses the Rio di Palazzo, which establishes the boundary between the districts of San Marco and Castello and separates the Doge’s Palace from the New Prisons, united only along the Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs).

The name of the bridge comes from the ships that docked there and unloaded straw to supply the horses in the stables of the Doge's Palace.

The Ponte della Paglia connects the Piazzetta with the Riva degli Schiavoni. The bridge is usually full of tourists because it allows an excellent view of the beautiful Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs).
