Ponte delle Guglie/ Spiers Bridge is a bridge in Venice, located in
the Cannaregio district. It is the only Venetian bridge adorned with
pinnacles, placed at the base of the handrails: the spiers from which it
takes its name.
The Cannaregio bridge was built for the first
time in wood in 1285. It was replaced by the current stone bridge in
1580, as evidenced by the inscriptions placed on the bridge itself.
Restored in 1641 and 1677, it was rebuilt in 1823 with the addition of
the spiers, which gave it its current name. In 1987, with a further
restoration, a path for the disabled was added with a metal handrail and
the steps, which were previously in asphalt, are now in stone.
