What travelers say:

A baroque stone bridge, one end of which connects the tall magnificent town hall, and the other end is the dark prison, four hundred years ago a death row prisoner was escorted to prison on the way through the bridge, the jailer let him see the free world outside, Through the small window of the death remembered his deeply loved woman, involuntarily sighing, when the death row prisoner looked down at the narrow sea below a pair of men and women kissing on the boat, the woman is the prisoner's lover, the prisoner can not bear to betray, roaring into the stone bridge window with hatred, But the woman did not hear the sigh of the crime, so the stone bridge with nobleness and lowness, life and love, was named for the sigh of the prisoner.
