We saw the Bridge of Sighs, from which Casanova spectacularly escaped in 1756, aided by a monk and a woman, a winning combination. The Bridge of Sighs connects the Doge Palace to the prison. The condemned had to cross this bridge usually after being tortured in the "Room of Torments", an adjacent prison. On the prison walls, you can still see the prisoner's dramatic messages.
