Guide to Venice Lido

St. Mark's Square - For over a thousand years this has been the symbol of the City and the centre of public life witnessing pageants, processions, political activities and countless festivities.
Basilica di San Marco - Built in the 9th century to enshrine the relics of the Evangelist Mark, stolen from Alexandria in Egypt, this truly unique Cathedral has maintained its early character and appearance.
Rialto Bridge - This impressive bridge, arching over the Grand Canal, was built in the late 16th century by Antonio da Ponte, whose design was chosen by the Venetian Senate over those of several more famous architects including Michelangelo. Palazzo Ducale - This palace was the official residence of each Venetian ruler (Doge), and is regarded as the highest expression of Venetian Gothic architecture.
The Bridge of Sighs - Built as a passageway between the Palazzo Ducale and the prison, it reputedly takes its name from the sighs of prisoners being led to trial. Accademia - One of the great museums of Europe, the Galleria dell' Accademia houses Venetian paintings spanning five centuries, from the medieval Byzantine period through the Renaissance to the baroque period and later.
