Ponte della Paglia, or the Straw Bridge, is the bridge on the Schiavoni promenade, where there is always a rush, and where everyone is photographed against the backdrop of the Bridge of Sighs. It was built in 1360 and is almost 250 years older than its "sighing" competitor. It is always very crowded here, this is one of the most visited places. The photos are really beautiful, and to take them without a large crowd of tourists, come here early.
