Ponte Dell'Accademia
Ponte Dell’Accademia, Venice Overview
The Ponte Dell’Accademia, or the Academia Bridge, is one of four bridges spanning the Grand Canal and connecting San Marco and Dorsoduro. The bridge is simplistic and has an elegant arch. This bridge offers some splendid sunrise and sunset views from the top.
It’s not too crowded so you can enjoy its calm atmosphere and take some great photos as the colourful gondolas pass underneath it. The first bridge in this spot was made of steel and was designed by Alfred Neville in 1854. It was completely revamped by Eugenio Miozzi in 1933 and constructed from wood this time. The final iteration of the bridge, the one we see today, is just a rejuvenated replica of the 1933 design. It has a total of 50 steps up, and 50 steps down. The metal handrails of the bridge also have love padlocks attached by couples, despite this practice being illegal.
