   Campanile di San Giorgio dei Greci, or the 'leaning clocktower', was designed by Simone Sorella and completed in 1592. It apparently started tilting from the beginning of its construction. Like its adjoining church, the bell tower was built by and for the Greek community in Venice, primarily sailors and merchants.

   The widest street in Venice. The entire route, which is made up of wide streets connected by bridges, was created during the 19th century to create rapid pedestrian access between Rialto and the railway station, demolishing the buildings that would otherwise delimit a long tortuous path between narrow streets .
