  Plan général

Venetians say that Venice ihas the shape of a fish and Giudecca is the ideal spine. Eight islands give shape to this spine which is only 2000 meters and 300 meters wide. Although the island is located a short way from Saint Mark's square, the life style is different from the Serenissima. Some say that the name Giudecca comes from an old community of Jews that first lived on this stretch of land. Others say that the name comes from the noble Venetians that were judged by the Republic of Venice and sent to live on this island.

Many Venetian noble families built beautiful summer villas surrounded by gardens and orchards on this island. An Englishman, Frederik Eden, bought the last artichoke farmland in 1884 and turned it into a beautiful garden known as The Garden of Eden. Designed by Gertrude Jekyll, one of the most famous English landscape designers of that time, the garden, still private, can be seen from the Fondamenta San Giacomo.

Some churches, monasteries and convents were built on this island. As time has gone by, these religious buildings have been transformed into industrial factories. In the late 19th century the old monastery of San Biagio became a grain mill known as the Molino Stucky.

As you walk along the Canal della Giudecca and leave behind the Residenza Grandi Vedute you can start visiting the churches on the island. The first to be found is Santa Eufemia with an interesting painting by Bartolomeo Vivarini (1480) on the high altar. Keep walking along the Canal and you will find the famous church of Redentore designed by Palladio. At the end of the island you will find the Church of Zitelle where noble women used to teach poor women and orphans the art of sewing. Today, this peaceful island is home to many Venetian families who came here to relax.
