The area
Address
Neighborhood: Castello
Castello is the largest of the six sestieri (districts), and the only one not facing onto the Grand Canal. More than half of Castello is situated within Arsenale, the naval base, which occupies over one-fifth the area of Venice. This gentrified maritime neighborhood feels busy but casual. Castello’s side streets are laid back, with small boats lining canals criss-crossed by laundry. Semiannual exhibitions add a strong artsy current to the Arsenale area. Via Garibaldi in Castello, with its shops and bars, has one of Venice's rare straight and wide boulevards. When a large ship turns around the Lido to enter the Giudecca Canal, the startling sight creates an illusion that it will run aground right on Via Garibaldi! Families treasure Giardini near the island's tip, green with rare trees and grass, and Riva degli Schiavoni is a popular spot for Venetians to take a stroll to watch the sunset.

This is a large square just off the beaten track.
We visited here as part of the walking tour. It smells a bit antiseptic here as one of the buildings is a civic hospital.
There is a large equestrian statue and it is dominated by a large gothic church.
This is an area worth exploring at your leisure.

This field is among the most beautiful and monumental in Venice: here there are three important masterpieces: the church of San Giovanni e Paolo (one of the largest in the city), the Scuola Grande di San Marco (one of the five schools still active in city) and the imposing statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni. There is no shortage of bars and pastry shops in the square.
