   St. Mark's Basilica

   We grant you, from one bridge to another in Venice, the differences are not frankly striking. Except maybe with this one! Spanning the Grand Canal, like three other companions, the Accademia Bridge owes its existence to the Austrians.

   What would Venice be without its bridges? This

   Now that you’ve arrived by the canal, look at the dock opposite and more specifically at the first 3-level building, to the left of the church steeple.

   Once the home of Francesco Foscari, 65th Doge of Venice, the old palace on your right has always been connected to the world of education.

   The second largest building in Venice, the Basilica dei Frari, as we see it today, took more than 100 years to be built. In addition to its tall 70-metre campanile, dating from the 14th century, the monument returns a simple exterior façade, made of brick and some white and pink stone elements.

   Rialto Bridge

   The Rialto Bridge

   The Rialto Bridge is a big Rising Star in Venice’s tourist advertisements and one of the most famous symbols of the Doge City. Except that before reaching this success, the monument went through a rather long and complicated history.

    Bridge of Sighs

    Anyone who has ever been able to approach him will tell you that this Venetian figure fascinates as much by its beauty, its history and all the legends that surround it.

    Affectionately called the “Boss of the House” by the Venetians, the Campanile San Marco is an ancient symbol of the city. Its very first construction, ordered in 888 by the 17th Doge of Venice, could never be completed following a collapse of the ground, while the tower was being built.

    Located on the left side of St. Mark’s Square, the Clock Tower is a real gem of art and mechanics. It was built in the 15th century, by order of the Senate of the Republic of Venice, to mark the passage from the largest square of the city of Doges to the small shopping streets, on the other side, called the Merceries.

    The only “great” square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square

    The only “great” square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square is in a way the heart of the city. Its construction began in the 9th century and its definitive general physiognomy was not completed until 1177.

    Bovolo Staircase

    Lost in a maze of cul-de-sac alleys, the Contarini del Bovolo Palace is a small hidden treasure. Probably built in the 14th century, the building gained notoriety when a branch of the Venetian Contarini family made it their home.

    La Fenice Opera House

    Who has never heard in the mouth of a relative, friend, or acquaintance, that appearances should never be trusted. Incredible, but true, behind this discreet neo-classical facade lies one of the most beautiful operatic scenes in the world.

    Peggy Guggenheim Collection

    The Peggy Guggenheim Collection

    The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of Venice’s most important cultural addresses, off the beaten track and busy. In the 18th century, the site belonged to the powerful Venier dei Leoni family, which, committed to building the most beautiful palace on the Grand Canal, did not see its wish come true.

    Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute

    In Venice, you don’t

    In Venice, you don’t have to be in St. Mark’s Square to be an iconic monument. Located in the Dorsoduro district, and almost at the southern end of the Grand Canal, the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute is a spatial and symbolic landmark for Venetians.

    Located on the south-west part of the city, the Dorsoduro district, which is translated as “Hard Back”, takes its name from the firmer strength of the land that composes it.
