Castello-West

View on the map

This is Venice at its most mysterious, with sleepy squares, unexpected views, beautiful churches and lots of bridges.

As an architecture lover, Castello West is the place to be. Here you will find many large and small squares, churches and winding streets with bridges and unexpected views. To the south, you can stroll along the Riva degli Schiavoni, a wide quay that runs from Piazza San Marco to the Arsenale and overlooks the islet of San Giorgio Maggiore. The richly decorated city hospital Ospedale Civile is on the historic Piazza Santi Giovanni e Paolo, surrounded by numerous pretty streets. By the way, the squares are a useful aid to getting your bearings in this district.
