Magistrato alle acque is the body responsible for managing the water network in the Venice lagoon.

The pedestrian bridge connects the Cannaregio area with the train station area and crosses the Canale di Cannaregio. The original wooden bridge was built in 1285 and was replaced by a stone bridge in 1580. The turrets at the ends of the bridge were added in 1823.
