While most people speed through San Polo to reach the famous sights of the city, this sestiere certainly deserves more attention than it gets.
According to legend, the first inhabitants of Venice settled at the left bank of the Canal Grande, on a cluster of islands what is now knows as the San Polo district. This is therefore one of the oldest places of Venice. Strangely, even though most visitors to Venice pass through this sestiere or district, they do not spend much time exploring. A pity, because there is a lot to see here. To start with, the campo or square with the name of the district, with a church of the same name. A surprisingly big square, with trees, locals walking their dog, pigeons being chased by sea gulls, and some majestic palazzi. Indeed, this is the largest square of Venice after San Marco square, and as such was once used for agriculture and grazing. In later times, bullfights were held here, as well as religious ceremonies and performances. It is one of the few places in Venice where you can find a fountain.
