    What is being referred to as the "Bridge of Sighs" in Oxford is one nice architectural feature in a town with many architectural features. Frankly, it's just a cool architectural feature and worth a photo if the number of tourists permits it. For what it's worth, you basically walk by this structure as you go around the Oxford campus. As far as we can determine, the inside is not open to the public nor, to our knowledge, is there anything of particular interest inside. As others have noted, while this has been given the title of "Bridge of Sighs," the actual Bridge of Sighs in Venice (named because it was the last view of Venice convicts saw as they were sent to prison) looks somewhat different, with far fewer windows, a canal underneath, a level floor, and more rounded ceiling arch. Others have likened it more to the much larger Rialto Bridge in Venice, to which it bears a closer resemblance. Again, for what it's worth, there is also another so-called "Bridge of Sighs" at Cambridge University which is also materially different both from this one and the one in Venice. In any event, I would consider this worth a few minutes and a photo as you go around the Oxford Campus. It is certainly a nice structure and a civic landmark, but it is not worth very much time. It's basically across the street from the Bodleian Library and just a little further down from the Radcliffe Camera. Please note that the Radcliffe Camera, another easily recognized structure, was undergoing extensive groundwork we were there, complete with fencing and tarps, so it was not at its best.

    A delight to see the ornate crossing joining two parts of the college. Reminiscent of its Venetian cousin, hopefully the same sense of foreboding is absent when crossing this one. Highly ornate it is a landmark, as per its Grade II Listing.

    It's a very beautiful structure, running down the New College avenue. You can walk underneath and get photographed a lot. It connects departments of Hertfort college. If you walk under the bridge you come to New College It looks like the bridge of sighs in Venice
