3Constitution Bridge (Ponte della Costituzione)

Modern in design, the Constitution Bridge, also known as Calatrava Bridge, contrasts with Venice’s historic architecture.

Designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2008, this striking bridge spans the Grand Canal, connecting Piazzale Roma to the Santa Lucia Train Station. Its contemporary arched structure and glass steps create a bold statement amidst Venice’s classical landscape, providing a functional yet debated addition to the city’s bridges.
