The
luxury Locanda le Vele is situated in the historical centre
of Venice, a few minutes from the Rialto Bridge
and St. Mark’s Square. Facing the evocative canal of Santa
Sofia, the Locanda is also just a short distance from the famous
Cà D’Oro Palace, seat of an important museum
and the Strada Nuovo, the largest arterial (pedestrian only) road
that runs through most of the City. The Rialto Bridge, where visitors
can pause in one of the numerous historical bars, is just a 5
minute walk away. The infamous St. Mark’s Square,
the artistic heart of the City, is only 10 minutes from here.
The Locanda is a few metres away from the Grande Canal,
the largest waterway of the Venetian City, and therefore, offers
easy connections by boat to the islands on the Lagoon, like, Lido
di Venezia as well as other parts of the City.

 Saint
Mark's Basilica: beautiful Venetian church with 5 domes looks
like the ancient church of Costantinopoli. It was embellished
during the early centuries of the last millennium and particulary
in the thirtheenth century when Venice dominated Mediterranean
culture and economy. The church, built to represent the power
of Serenissima, is externally embellished with marble, mosaics
and bas-relief: all maded with precious materials came from Bisanzio,
Aquileia and Ravenna. Internally, the church has a Greek cross
plan with domes substained by big columns. |
 Rialto
Bridge: 'Till thirteenth century
Venice was built on a groups of islands separated by channels
and to get on the other side were laid down wood boards. Later
many bridges were built in Venice but no one of them joining the
Gran Canal's banks.
This was a big problem for the Establishment so that population
was always teasing it about this promise.
Competition had been won by Antonio da Ponte who thought
a unic arch bridge, 48 meters long and 22 meters wide. Foundation
was started in 1588, and it took some years to finally join the
opposite part of the Gran Canal and subsitute the previous wood
bridge that many times collapsed before. To get an imagine of
this previous bridge look at the famous painting by Carpaccio
"Guarigione di un ossesso")... |
 Ca'
D'Oro: Once upon the time was considered one of the most sumptuous
buildings of Venice for the beautiful colours of its facade, Ca'
D'oro knew an unlucky period becouse of the several restorations
made during five centuries of history, till baron Giorgio Franchetti
bought it at the end of XIX century to create an art gallery.
Inside it's possible to admire masterpieces by Mantegna, Diana
and Carpaccio. Besides there are many paintings of Flemish school
and what remain of the decorations that one time made beautiful
the facades of the buildings near the "Canal Grande"
(main channel of Venice). |
