Bridge in May 2015

The Ponte delle Guglie , also Ponte di Cannaregio , in the Sestiere Cannaregio in Venice is a bridge that spans the Canale di Cannaregio and connects the Salizzada S. Geremia with the Rio terrà S. Leonardo . It owes its name to the four obelisks that are located at the end of the railing. The currently existing stone bridge was built in 1580 by the builder Marchesin di Marchesini in place of the three-arched wooden bridge that had existed until then, which was built under Doge Dandolo.

The "Guglie", like the "Scalzi", is one of the most popular bridges in Cannaregio and Venice. All pedestrian traffic to and from the train station or to Piazzale Roma rolled over this bridge until the construction of the Ponte della Costituzione in 2008.

Next to the bridge is the "Guglie" stop named after her, which is served by Motoscafi. ACTV lines 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2 stop at the stop .
