Stop 1 Pass by

Santa Maria della Salute (or Salute Church or simply La Salute) is a basilica in Venice erected 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 represents an ex voto to the Madonna by Venetians for deliverance from the Plague that decimated the population between 1630 and 1631. 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.

The Island of San Giorgio Maggiore is a small island, located opposite St. Mark's Square in Venice.

The Lido of Venice is a thin island stretching about 12 km between the Venetian lagoon and the Adriatic Sea, bounded by the ports of San Nicolò and Malamocco and connected to the city and the mainland only by scheduled waterbuses and motor rafts for transporting vehicles.

About 12.2 km long, it is one of the few islands in the lagoon on which there are carriage roads; there is also a small tourist airport. It is famous for its beautiful beach, wonderful Art Nouveau villas from the 1900s and the Film Festival where film stars from all over the world attend every year.

Le Vignole is a small island in the Venice Lagoon inhabited by only 54 people. It is known as one of Venice's vegetable gardens. Here Venetians go to spend happy days of rest by boat. It is most famous for the prodizione of artichokes called “castraure” that can be eaten raw!

The Venice Arsenal is an ancient complex of shipyards and workshops that makes up a very large part of the island city of Venice at its eastern end. It was the heart of the Venetian shipbuilding industry from the 12th century onward and is linked to the most prosperous period in the life of the Serenissima: thanks to the imposing ships built here, the Venetian Republic was able to dominate the Mediterranean and gain a monopoly on trade with the East

Surrounded by 3 km of crenellated red-brick walls, it employed a maximum of 16. 000 people at the height of its operation and can be considered, due to its size, age and the ingenuity of its design and operation (ships were built here on an assembly line since the 16th century) as one of the first true industrial complexes in Europe.
