The Hotel Belle Epoque is located in the
heart of Venice in Cannaregio. It is close to the Santa
Lucia railway station, the Grand Canal,
and the Rialto Bridge. It is situated at
number 17, Rio de Lista di Spagna.
The district takes its name from the Cannaregio Canal
which is the main entrance to the city from land. Various
attractions can be found in the district including: the Jewish
Ghetto, the churches of Santa Maria dei Miracoli,
Sant’Alvise and the Santa Maria
Assunta, the palazzo Ca’ d’Oro
(Golden House) - considered one of the most beautiful palazzos
on the Grand Canal, the baroque Palazzo Labia
and the Isola di San Michele cemetery island
which is also associated with the district.
Piazza San Marco or St Mark’s Square
is considered one of the finest in Europe. The piazza is home
to St Mark’s basilica and is very popular with tourists,
photographers and pigeons. It is one of the few large urban
spaces where motorized traffic will not be heard. This is
the only square called a piazza (the standard Italian
word) in Venice, all the rest are called campi which
comes from the Venetian dialect. The Piazza is overshadowed
by the Basilica, the Doge's Palace
and the Basilica's campanile (bell tower),
which stands separate from the main basilica.
