PONTE DI RIALTO
THE RENAISSANCE BRIDGE WITH VAULT DESIGN
The beautiful vault architecture, light limestone surfaces, and the stairs’ design make the bridge a beloved Venice masterpiece. The Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) is the natural connection between San Polo and San Marco, as it is the narrowest point of the Canal Grande. The bridge is an example of brilliant and purposeful Renaissance design and architecture since it enables both pedestrians and boats to pass and has small shops for commerce. The Istrian stone (Pietra d’Istria) of the Rialto Bridge has mastered time with grace.
CANAL GRANDE
THE TURQUOISE HIGH STREET
The Canal Grande is the most important of the canals in Venice. The colour of the water varies beautifully with the sky, often with a bright turquoise-green colour. The canal is the Venice high street dividing the city into two. Across the channel, four bridges connect the different districts. The most famous of the Canal Grande bridges is the iconic Rialto Bridge. Along the almost four-kilometre-long canal are around 180 impressive Palaces, each with its own signature and story.
HOTEL DANIELI
A HOME FOR THE NOBILITY
Over the years, celebrities have passed through the main entrance and walked up the stairs under the magnificent Murano glass chandeliers. The Palazzo Dandolo has hosted important guests since the medieval ages. The view towards the Venetian Lagoon from the Palace is splendid. Authors, novelists, and poets like Marcel Proust, Charles Dickens, Wolfgang von Goethe, and Percy Shelley have all stayed here during visits to Venice. The Palazzo Dandolo, later turned into a hotel, was built in the 14th century by and for the noble Dandolo family.
