• Chiesa di San Giorgio dei Greci - The Campanile di San Giorgio dei Greci, known as the ‘leaning clocktower’, was designed by Simone Sorella and completed in 1592. It began tilting early in its construction. Both the bell tower and the adjacent church were built by and for Venice’s Greek community, mainly sailors and merchants. Don’t miss the Sanctuary of St. Lucy.
• Strada Nova - Venice’s widest street, Strada Nova, was developed in the 19th century to provide quick pedestrian access between Rialto and the railway station, replacing buildings that would have created a long, winding path through narrow streets.

• Ponte dei Sospiri - Known as the Bridge of Sighs, this iconic Venetian landmark was built in the 1600s, linking the Doge’s Palace to the historic prison across the canal. It earned its name because prisoners, crossing it, sighed at the thought of seeing the outside world for the last time.
• Chiesa di San Zaccaria - The Church of San Zaccaria, a 15th-century former monastic church, is located in central Venice’s Campo San Zaccaria. Constructed between 1458 and 1515, its facade blends late-Gothic and Renaissance styles harmoniously.
