"a devastating last walk"

The Bridge Of Sighs of Venice, Italy was built at the beginning of the 17th century with the purpose of connecting prisons and interrogation rooms in the Palace of the Dukes, its beauty masks what was likely a devastating last walk for condemned prisoners. It's said that one could hear their sighs as they looked one last time upon the outside world before being locked up, their graffiti is still visible on some of the concrete cell walls.
