Lonely Planet review

Built in 1934 to replace its 1854 iron predecessor, the last of the Grand Canal bridges was supposed to be a temporary arrangement. That seems to have been forgotten, and the municipality is forever having to patch this timber job up. From the middle, the views in both directions along the Grand Canal are spellbinding.

One of the most common images from Venice is the view of the Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute from this spot. The bridge links the sestiere of San Marco with Dorsoduro. In front of you across the bridge are the Gallerie dell'Accademia.
