Cannaregio, Venice

Built almost at the mouth of the Cannaregio canal on the lagoon, this bridge is a feature of Venice and often appears in views of the city. Although it was erected in the late seventeenth century, the architect imitated Palladio's design for the Rialto, which was not adopted. It is the only three-arched bridge in Venice and has simple, harmonious lines.
