The Architecture in Venice from the Gothic period to the 19th century
Discover Venice through a guided tour of the city’s architecture. Venice is different from other cities and so is its architecture: Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and finally the 19th century., but the structure of the city makes Venice different from other cities, and therefore the architecture is also declinated differently.
Venice is a city with a great variety of styles and architecture, you only have to cross a bridge, move a little to find yourself in front of splendid architecture that is completely different. However, it is not enough to know the buildings to know a city, I like to tell the stories behind them and put them in their historical context.
It is usually believed that Venice has remained unchanged over the centuries, in reality the city has changed a lot during the 19th century. The changes that took place in Venice can be seen mainly in the buildings, the campi, the calli and the restorations. Some of these restorations concerned important architecture such as St Mark’s basilica and Cà D’Oro and were carried out in very central areas.
This itinerary to the architecture is designed for curious and discerning visitors and will take you on a tour of Venetian architecture in the various sestieri from St Mark’s to Castello, Cannaregio and San Polo, touching on some very quiet areas. You will see the many changes that have taken place over the centuries.
The tour will also show you the architecture built and modified in the 19th century and will show you another side of Venice. Duration 2-3 hours
