Ponte dei Tre Archi (Three Arches' Bridge), Venice

The 17th-century Three Arches' Bridge ("Ponte dei Tre Archi") stands out as the sole three-arched bridge left in Venice, and largest of the city's bridges outside of the Grand Canal. Even regular motorboats pass gracefully beneath its three impressive arches. Located at the end of the Cannaregio Canal, which historically served as the main entrance to Venice before the introduction of rail and road connections, this area remains relatively untouched by tourist crowds. The bridge's commanding presence, visible from afar, adds to its Baroque-style allure and prominence.

In close proximity to the bridge, you will discover the Parco Savorgnan, one of the rare green spaces accessible to the public in Venice. On the other hand, if you venture further along the embankment, you will encounter the municipal slaughterhouse ("Macello Pubblico"). Originally constructed in 1843 by the hygiene-conscious Austrians, it bears ornate decorations featuring ox skulls. Today, following extensive deliberations, the space has been repurposed for use by the university.
