Bridge of Sighs, Oxford | Tourope

The main buildings at Hertford College are linked together by a corridor called the “Bridge of Sighs,” built-in 1913-14 and named after the Ponte Dei Sospiri in Venice. It was never intended to be a replica of the Venetian bridge, and instead, it bears a closer resemblance to the Rialto Bridge in the same city. Nevertheless, the bridge provides a popular photo opportunity for tourists and newcomers.
