Getting Around Venice: Calle del Paradiso

The Calle del Paradiso is one is one of the most known street in the Venice city.

It has got historic buildings in Byzantine and Gothic style, along the calle, from which one can see the traditional barbicans, architectural structures in stone or wood, used to increase the housing size of the houses, without reducing that of the pedestrian passage area. The Calle del Paradiso owes its name to the magnificent ornaments that decorate the street during feast days, especially during Good Friday. The route ends at the Ponte del Paradiso and both are characterized by the presence of the Gothic arch, placed between the two adjacent houses. It is a work in marble dating back to the ‘400 and depicting the Madonna, which once also saw the presence of the coats of arms of the Foscari and Mocenigo families.

An enchanting corner of Venice, absolutely not to be missed during your Venetian tour.
