Loved this! Lovely view. Beautiful. Only thing is you should be told which gate to go to. We were there 20 minutes before opening & were first in line to then see it opened at the other gate so had to queue behind people then.

  • Discover a hidden gem of Venice and admire its mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Byzantine styles

This is a nice little find in Venice with some excellent history and structure information. Many people viewing from the outside down below but the view from the top is great. We us the top platform to ourselves for 10 mins or so.
