While walking through the Gothic Quarter (Carrer del Bisbe Street), pay attention to the neo-Gothic bridge connecting the Government Palace with the House of Canons, which now houses the Residence of the Catalan President. The author of this bridge, created in 1926, was the architect Joan Rubio. The Bridge of Sighs is a "working" one, people walk along it from building to building, shortening the path. But the Barcelona Bridge of Sighs has nothing to do with the history of its Venetian counterpart.→
