Essentials of Castello

The Castello district is the largest of the districts of Venice and is the only one that does not overlook the Grand Canal. Its name derives from the presence of a medieval fort that had been built on the island of San Pietro. The district borders directly with that of Cannaregio and San Marco.

It is one of the greenest areas of Venice counting the Gardens and the Island of Sant'Elena, characterized by the presence of trees, flowers and games for children. It contains most of the sports facilities and various attractions. The Castello district overlooks on one side the lagoon with San Pietro and Sant'Elena, and on the opposite side looks San Marco. Also in this district is the Riva degli Schiavoni, one of the largest docks « fondamenta » and with one of the most spectacular views of the city, which extends from the San Marco basin a shelter of the Doge's Palace.
