Explanation

The Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) is an iconic landmark in Venice, Italy, connecting the Doge's Palace to the prison. The name comes from the sighs prisoners would take as they got their last view of Venice through the bridge windows before being imprisoned. Cambridge has a bridge named after it, but it's not the original.
