Hertford College is distinguished by the covered, arched bridge that spans New College Lane. This structure, known as the Bridge of Sighs, links the college's Old and New Quadrangles and has become a landmark of the Oxford skyline. Although it is often associated with the famous bridge in Venice, its design was completed in nineteen fourteen by the architect Sir Thomas Jackson to provide a functional skyway between two separate college buildings.
