Casa di Marco Polo (pass by)

Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute (pass by)

Santa Maria della Salute is a basilica in Venice built in the area of Punta della Dogana, from where it stands out in the panorama of St Mark's Basin and the Grand Canal. Designed by Baldassare Longhena with attention to Palladio's models, it is one of the best expressions of Venetian Baroque architecture. Its construction was a votive offering to the Virgin Mary by the Venetians to save them from the plague, which decimated the population between 1630 and 1631, as had happened previously with the Church of the Redeemer. The cult became so deeply rooted in Venice that the Virgin Mary was added to the list of patron saints of the city of Venice. In December 1921 Pope Benedict XV elevated it to the rank of minor basilica.

Teatro La Fenice (pass by)

The Gran Teatro La Fenice, located in the Sestiere di San Marco in Campo San Fantin, is today the main opera house in Venice and one of the most prestigious in the world. Every year it holds the traditional New Year's Concert. Twice destroyed and rebuilt, it has been the venue for major opera and symphonic seasons and the International Festival of Contemporary Music.

Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo (San Zanipolo) (pass by)

The basilica of Saints John and Paul is one of the most impressive medieval religious buildings in Venice, together with the basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. It is considered the pantheon of Venice due to the large number of Venetian doges and other important figures who have been buried there since the 13th century. It stands in the campo of the same name, in the Castello district. In September 1922 Pope Pius XI elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica.

It is one of the largest squares in the city: a total of nine calli and eleven bridges (some of which simply connect the entrances to the palaces) branch off from it.
