Venice’s architectural heritage spans centuries, from the Byzantine mosaics of St Mark’s Basilica to the Renaissance design of the Rialto Bridge and the Baroque interiors of Ca' Rezzonico. This collection features major cultural institutions like the Accademia Gallery, housing Venetian art from the 14th to 18th centuries, and the historic La Fenice opera house. Beyond palaces and museums, the list includes the San Trovaso Boatyard, a rare site for traditional gondola construction, and the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, a historic trading post situated on the Grand Canal.
