The Ponte dei Pugni (“Bridge of Fists”) is a historic bridge in Venice’s Dorsoduro district, famous as a 17th-century battleground for rival clansโ€”the Nicolotti and Castellaniโ€”who fought to throw each other into the canal below. It features four white stone footprints marking the fighters’ starting positions.

Ponte dei Pugni (“Bridge of Fists”) in Venice, Italy, is a famous filming location, most notably featured as the exterior of the library in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Situated in the Dorsoduro district near Campo San Barnaba, it serves as the backdrop for scenes where Indy emerges from the sewer. The gallant Indiana gives Dr Schneider a flower while crossing theย Ponte dei Pugni.
