Canale di Cannaregio
N/A
Ponte delle Guglie is an nice arch bridge, pedestrian bridge (footbridge) and masonry bridge that was completed in 1823. It lies near the western end of the Cannaregio Canal, and it is one of two bridges to span the Cannaregio Canal. Its real name is actually Ponte di Cannaregio, but no one calls it that, but Guglie because of the 2 obelisks on each entrance side of the bridge (guglie towers). An earlier wooden bridge was built in 1285. It was replaced by the current stone and brick bridge in 1580. For those arriving on foot from Piazzale Roma or the Venezia Santa Lucia railway station, the bridge leads into the area of the Venetian Ghetto and the Strada Nova that leads to Piazza San Marco. The bridge is located next to the confluence of the Cannaregio Canal and the Grand Canal, near Santa Lucia Station.

Venice is always a delight which never stops enlightening at every little bridge, calle, piazza, truly mesmerising
Good bridge. Pretty much iconic bridge in Venice. Enjoy your drinks near any restaurant with great view.
Nice area away from the crowds and good variety of shops and groceries
The stone and brick bridge was built in 1580. It was restored in 1641 and 1677 and was totally rebuilt in 1823 at which time spires were added. Further restoration took place in 1987 with the addition of metal handrails, stone steps, and access for the disabled. It is the only bridge in Venice adorned with spires from whence it takes its name (\Bridge of Spires\).
