Venice & The Veneto - Sestiere di San Polo & Santa Croce (Chapter)
This is the Sestieri di San Polo & Santa Croce chapter from Lonely Planet’s Venice & the Veneto guidebook.
Heavenly devotion and earthly delights are neighbours in San Polo and Santa Croce, featuring divine art alongside the ancient red-light district, now home to artisans’ workshops and excellent osterie (taverns). Charmingly quirky museums occupy Grand Canal palazzi, while at the Rialto markets, island-grown produce resembles offerings to the gods.
- See lightning strike indoors at Scuola Grande di San Rocco, where Tintoretto’s streaky brushwork illuminates narratives with the gripping drama of a graphic novel
- maps
- Watch Titian’s red-hot Madonna light up the room in Assunta at I Frari
- transport
- restaurants & bars
- Hear fishermen and island farmers sing the praises of lagoon ingredients at Rialto Market
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Explore: Sestieri di San Polo & Santa Croce, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Sleeping and Shopping.
