7Ponte degli Scalzi

Also known as the Scalzi Bridge, this elegant structure spans the Grand Canal near the Santa Lucia railway station. Designed by the renowned architect Eugenio Miozzi in the 1930s, the Ponte degli Scalzi is a graceful example of modern Venetian architecture.

Its name, which translates to “Bridge of the Barefoot Monks,” pays homage to the nearby Santa Maria di Nazareth church, associated with the barefoot Carmelite monks.
