Its name derives from the presence of Campo<\/strong>\u00a0San Polo<\/strong>, the biggest square of Venice after Piazza San Marco , and for the Church with the same name. Although it has always been considered a square of the working class, because public events took place here, this sqaure is surrounded by noble palaces.<\/p>\n It is a very characteristic district because of the presence of a lot of \u201chouse and workshop<\/strong>\u201d, that are places where people live and work, and also for the huge variety of typical venetian taverns that are called \u201cbacari<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n The most famous and animated area is Rialto<\/strong>, thanks to the presence of the fish market and fruit and vegetable<\/strong> that makes the area more chaoitc but, at the same time, a typical and very characteristic place of Venice. Rialto’s area is one of the most popular for shopping<\/strong> and in the evening it becomes the center of the nightlife <\/strong>for the young people of the district, which met each others around Erbaria (the area of the dock overlooking the Grand Canal).<\/p>\n In San Polo we can find Rialto’s Market, place where a scene of the film \u201cThe tourist\u201d<\/strong> was shooted, a film with Angelina Jolie and Jhonny Depp. In the scene the main character (Depp) during an escape through the roofs of Venice, jumps on a tarp of the Market.<\/p>\n Also in this sestiere stands Scuola Grande San Rocco<\/strong>, which Hall of Capitolo was the place of a scene of the film \u201cCasanova<\/strong>\u201d. In this hall was organized a masked ball which also the main character Giacomo Casanova took part in it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sestiere San Polo is served by both the line 1<\/strong> and line 2<\/strong> of the ferry boat service. These two lines traveled all the Grand Canal. The stops for reach San Polo are Rialto’s Market, San Silvestro and San Tom\u00e0. Walking from the Station Venezia Santa Lucia takes more or less 15 minutes to reach in the central part of the district.<\/p>\n In sestiere San Polo we can find a lot of attractions, including the \u201cmust\u201d of Venice and the less famous attractions that deserves a visit if you have enough time.<\/p>\n The most important attraction of San Polo is Rialto Bridge<\/strong>, the oldest bridge of Venice that links the two shores of Grand Canal.<\/p>\n Another unmissable attraction is also Basilica dei Frari<\/a>, that has important frescos of Tiziano and Bellini and Scuola Grande San Rocco<\/a>, decorated by Tintoretto’s frescos.<\/p>\n Finally, another church to visit is Church San Giacomo di Rialto<\/strong>, the oldest of Venice and the heart of the trade of the city in the past and the House of Goldon<\/a>i<\/a>, place where probably the famous comedy writer Carlo Goldoni was born, that today is the location of the Museum of Theatre.<\/p>\n If you can have a relaxing walking through the streets os sestiere San Polo, it also deserves a visit Palazzo dei Camerlenghi<\/strong>, that was built in a reinassance style, and the Church San Polo<\/strong>, famous for the paintings of Tintoretto and Tiepolo.<\/p>\n Finally, in this area there is also the Church San Giovanni Elemosinario<\/strong>, located in the area of the market of Rialto and Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista<\/strong>, location of a lot of meetings, cultural expositions and events in Venice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In you want to have a break and, at the same moment, tasting some typical venetian dish, we can suggest you some place where you can eat good food without spendin a lot of money.<\/p>\n The first place that we suggest you is \u201cAll’Arco<\/strong>\u201d in Calle Arco.
