Which window is from the legend? - a photo on Flickriver

            Center, yellow:.
Casa Mainella, 1858 (recreating a style of transition from Gothic to Renaissance).

Right, white: Palazzi Contarini Corfù, 15th cen. partly remodeled in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The photo was taken from Ponte de le Maravegie, or Bridge of Wonders. There is a legend about this bridge and its name.

"Seven sisters lived in the palace to the left of the bridge.
Six were beautiful and one, Marina, ugly. A boatman called Matteo wanted to marry one of the beautiful sisters and visited the palace often but fell ill, prey to a debilitating disease. He attributed his illness to witchcraft perpetrated by the ugly sister who had constantly avoided him.
One day, as he approached the palace from the bridge, he saw through one of the windows Marina praying and crying in front of a crucifix.
He was moved by this scene and by the sudden apparition on the sky of six bright stars and a dim one. But the six stars soon disappeared and the dim one became so bright that it lit the whole sky. At once Matteo was overcome with emotion and a new and unknown feeling for Marina took hold. He saw her beautiful. Marina also confessed her love for him. In fact, she had been praying to God that his life was spared and hers taken instead.
Matteo was cured and they were both happily married. The name Maravegie makes reference to all these wonders that once took place on this bridge."
