The Grand Canal also called as Canalazzo runs through the heart of Venice, through many great buildings (built between the 12th and 17th centuries) that attest to the city’s wealth and beauty. This magnificent waterway flows under four bridges and through busy Venetian markets, well-preserved gardens, and elegant canal-front restaurants, museums, churches, and other landmarks.
