An island of itself, Giudecca lies to the south of Venice and has much of a quiet suburb feel. Not only nice as an escape from the madness of Venice, but also a place with great views of Venice.
Apart from houses that are similar to those seen in Venice proper, you can also see modern architecture and even apartment blocks. I also spotted a house boat, a former Venetian canal boat turned into a living place on the water. Historically, the island had its own development. Originallly called Spinalunga (long spine, for the long shape of the island), Giudecca was probably renamed after the Jews who settled here. Here, rich people lived in palaces with gardens, but at the beginning of the twentieth century, the island saw the establishment of factories, shipyards and even a film studio.
