 Famous for its lace making |
Burano Venice 30012 Italy |
In this little town located on an island of the Venetian lagoon, the houses are painted in varied bright colors, giving a picturesque and cheerful character to the setting, which kids always love. Burano is famous for its lacemaking, a skill that has developed here since the 16th century; various shops offer lacemaking demonstrations. To admire more of this craft, head to the Museo del Merletto which displays all kinds of amazing lacework: tablecloths, fans, collars and shawls. To get there via vaporetto take line LN from the Fondamente Nove. The trip takes approximately 40-50 minutes and makes one stop on Murano. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 13th century church |
Campo de la Chiesa (Sant-Elena) Venice 30100 Italy |
This church, built in the 13th century, was re-opened for worship at the beginning of the 20th century. On the left of the gothic front, the old monastery cloister is visible. The modern architecture of the bell tower differs from the church gothic style; and the interior consists of one nave with very high windows, the Apse, and the chapel of the 'Crocifisso' at the bottom.
