The walking tour starts at Riva degli Schiavoni along the waterfront at St. Mark's Square close to San Giovanni in the Gothic Bragora Church, where you can see Cima da Conegliano's masterpiece, "St. John the Baptist." Then you reach the imposing entrance of the Arsenal, the former military shipyard of the Republic of Venice, passing San Martino Church. After this, you walk along Garibaldi Street, a very popular area where many Venetians live, and you end up at the island of San Pietro in Castello, the seat of the Bishop of Venice.

Via Garibaldi
can
claim to be the heart venetian life, unlike the area around St. Mark’s Square
it has not yet been invaded by mass tourists. The many coffee houses and famous
restaurants of the area are crowded mainly with venetians who come here to
escape the hustle and bustle of the plaza, after all it is only ten minutes
away.
Nearby one can see the “Padiglioni” of the International Biennal
Exhibition of Modern Art, a must for art lovers.
In conclusion, here is a corner of Venice, well known to the
Venetinas, still to be discovered by many tourists but ensuring your visitors
won’t leave disappointed.

Sant'Antonin is located a short
distance from the Riva degli Schiavoni in the Sestiere di Castello, which more
than any other district, has retained a Venetian authenticity where the local
sounds and traditions still thrive. This enviable location allows its guests to
delight in the masterpieces and treasures of St. Mark's Place, only 5 minute's
walk away, and yet enjoy the hotel's tranquility.
The Gallery is only a few minute's walk from a few of the jewels of the City of
the Doges: the San Giorgio dei Greci church (the OrthodoxCathedral of St.
George), a jewel of orthodox art and culture in Venice; San Giorgio degli
Schiavoni with its painting cycle by Carpaccio; San Giovanni in Bragora, a small
gothic church, where Antonio Vivaldi was baptized.
Another feature of the Gallery is its proximity to the Arsenale where the
famous naval fleet was built and housed by the Serenissima (the Venetian
Republic, which lasted from 697 to 1797, was dubbed "The Most Serene
Republic", because of its remarkably stable government).
