  • Begun in 1582 by Jacopo Bozzetto - on a plan by Palladio - it was completed in 1586. It’s name, Zitelle (maidens) stems from the adjoining hospice for poor girls of Venice where they could complete their education until reaching the marriageable age.
    An important part of their studies was music, as attention to the acoustics of the building was set down as a condition in the plans and carried out in the construction of the interior.

    Off The Beaten Path: Punta della Dogana
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Customs Point is one of the prettiest areas in Venice, offering an unforgettable view of the Basin of St Mark and the Giudecca Channel.
    Here stands the Dogana da Mar, a massive construction on the site of an earlier tower with a high crenulated wall, part of the city’s old defence system.
