The Church of San Simeon Piccolo, with a beautiful large green dome, located opposite the Santa Lucia train station, was built by Giovanni Scalfarotto (1690-1764) at the beginning of the 18th century and was intended to be a copy of the Pantheon in Rome. You can see the statue of San Salvatore on the top.

The Grand Canal is the main water road in Venice and one of the symbol of the town and it crossing the city. It begins near Piazzale Roma, the entrance point to the city from mainland and leads to Piazza San Marco and to the lagoon, in front of the isle of Giudecca. By the years the sides of Canal Grande became a residential area and on its sides had been built the palaces of the most important noble families in Venice.

O Grande Canal é a principal via aquática de Veneza e um dos símbolos da cidade. O Grande Canal corta a cidade, começando perto da Praça Roma e indo até a Praça São Marcos, em frente à ilha Giudecca. Durante muitos anos foi uma área residencial onde foram construídos os palácios de importantes e nobres famílias de Veneza.

San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands of Venice, lying east of the Giudecca and south of the main island group. It forms part of the San Marco sestiere. The Benedictine Monastery of San Giorgio was established in 982 and its monks drained the island's marshes. San Giorgio is now best known for the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, designed by the great architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) and begun in 1566. It is now the headquarters of the Cini Foundation arts centre, known for its library and is also home to the Teatro Verde open-air theatre.
