Santa Croce

Santa Croce is one of the six sestieri of Venice, located in the north-west part of the main islands. The district includes the Piazzale Roma, and the eastern part is largely medieval, with charming winding streets worth exploring. Some of the notable landmarks in the area include the churches of San Nicolo da Tolentino, San Giacomo dell'Orio, and San Zan Degola, as well as the Fondaco dei Turchi and the Museum of the History of Fabric and Costume at Palazzo Mocenigo. The area is also home to the artificial island Tronchetto, which was built as a parking lot for tourists and locals. While it's one of the less touristy areas of Venice, Santa Croce has its own charm and is worth visiting
