The Bridge of Sighs is a gorgeous covered bridge known as one of Cambridge's top tourist attractions, famously acclaimed by British Queen Victoria as one of the city's most beautiful landmarks. Despite popular urban legends about the iconic bridge's name being taken from the frustrated sighs of pre-exam students at nearby St. John's College, it is actually named in tribute to Venice's beautiful covered bridge of the same name. It was originally designed in 1831 by architect Henry Hutchinson and spans the River Cam near the college's Third and New Courts. Today, it is listed as a Grade I building and serves as one of the city's most popular photo opportunity spots.
