Ponte Delle Guglie

Ponte delle Guglie is a bridge in Venice, located in the Cannaregio district. It is the only Venetian bridge adorned with pinnacles, placed at the base of the handrails: the spiers from which it takes its name. The Cannaregio bridge was built for the first time in wood in 1285. It was replaced by the present stone bridge in 1580, as evidenced by the inscriptions placed on the bridge itself. Restored in 1641 and 1677, it was rebuilt in 1823 with the addition of the spiers, for which it took its current name. In 1987, with a further restoration, a path for the disabled was added with a metal handrail and the steps, which were previously in asphalt, are now in stone
