Castello is one of the "sixths" of Venice, which still retains the charm and originality of the city and knows many stories to tell the adventurers who "lose themselves" in its Calli.
We start our walk through this enchanting sixth at the so-called "Pantheon of the Doges" and hear from an unfortunate sculptor who left his mark there.
Then our voyage of discovery leads us past the monastery / the church of the "cheerful nuns" to a magical place that no evil can harm, neither the plague nor the war.
On our way we will also see small local shops that are still important for the everyday life of the residents and end our tour at the Arsenal, the former shipyard of Venice, where the fleet was built for one of the greatest naval battles in history.
