It is the main artery of Venice, and snakes its way like a huge S through the city: the Canal Grande, the Main Street of this unique city.
The Canal Grande is lined with many grand palazzi or palaces, like the famous Ca d'Oro, Palazzo Barbaro and Ca' Foscari. You can also find churches, old warehouses, and markets (notably, the Pescaria or Fish market) directly on the Canal Grande. Many buildings have their front door directly on the canal, without pavement, which means that they can only be admired either from a boat or from the other side of the Canal. Originally, the course of the Canal Grande was that of an ancient river flowing through the lagoon; people settled here in houses on stilts. The course of the Canal Grande has more or less remained the same, while the buildings developed into the imposing palaces we see now.
