Ponte dei Tre Archi

The Ponte dei Tre Archi is a Baroque style pedestrian bridge spanning the Cannaregio Canal, located just South of the Rio San Giobbe, linking the Fondamenti (canal bank walks) of Cannaregio (North) and San Giobbe (South), in the city of Venice, Italy. Along with the Ponte delle Guglie, this is one of two bridges spanning the Cannaregio canal.

The bridge was designed in 1681 by Andrea Tirali.[1] North of the bridge, towards the lagoon, is the former church of Santa Maria delle Penitenti and an on the south is the campo di San Giobbe.
