Ca' Rezzonico - 18th Century Venice Museum

Leaving the story of the “sham nun” behind, continue ahead over the Ponte De San Rocco.

  • Turn right on to Sestiere Dorsoduro.

  • Take the first left on to Calle San Pantalon.

  • At the end, turn right on to Campo San Pantalon.

  • Here, the 16th Century Chiesa di San Pantalon has an impressive painted ceiling.

  • Turn left over the bridge and continue along Calle de la Chiesa into Campo Santa Margherita.

  • Walk to the left of the Scuola dei Varoteri building at the end of the square.

  • Follow the Rio Terà Canal until you reach the Ponte Dei Pugni bridge.

  • Do not cross the bridge, instead turn left and continue along Fondamenta Alberti until the end.

The footpath ends at the magnificent Grand Canal palace which now houses the Ca' Rezzonico Museum of 18th-century Venice, with fine art and furniture from Cazanova’s period.
