The Bridge of Sighs and Doge's Palace, Venice Size:L: 80 x 60cm 'The Battle of Drumclog'The Bridge of Sighs and Doge's Palace, Venice, 1937. Designed by Antonio Contino and built in 1600, the Bridge of Sighs connects the old prison of Venice to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.

Local tradition has it that a couple will enjoy eternal love if they kiss while passing under the bridge on a gondola at sunset.
