The Grand Canal
|
This canal is the main water road in Venice. It begins near Piazzale Roma, the entrance point to the city from mainland where is the end of line for land transportation, and leads to Piazza San Marco and to the lagoon, in front of the isle of Giudecca.
On both sides of the canal, crossed by boats since the Middle Ages, there were once many watermills powered by tides, the wool and silk factories, the old dockyards of the Republic. By the gradual transformation of this area in residencial zone, on its sides had been built the palaces of the most important noble families in Venice, which nowadays hosts museums, institutions or luxury hotels.
