In the heart of the historic centre, between Rialto and Piazza S. Marco, but outside the most famous tourist circuits and almost hidden among the streets, there is a jewel of Venetian Gothic architecture, the Scala Contarini del Bovolo, so called for its particular shape spiral (in Venetian “bovolo”). You can visit it and enjoy, climbing, a beautiful view of the city! (Open every day 10-18 excluding holidays, full tickets 7€, various discounts available).
