The Ponte dei Tre Archi (English: Three Arches' Bridge) is one of the main bridges of Venice, along with the Ponte delle Guglie, the other bridge spanning the Cannaregio Canal, and the four bridges spanning the Canal Grande: Rialto, Scalzi, Accademia, and the Costituzione.
The Baroque style bridge was designed in 1681 by Andrea Tirali, and is the sole three-arched bridge left in Venice. It links the fondamenta San Giobbe to the fondamenta de Cannaregio. As all other Venetian bridges, the Ponte dei Tre Archi is a pedestrian walkway.
