During this tour you will visit the three most famous islands in Venice. Torcello was the first island to be settled by Altino's inhabitants in the Venetian Lagoon between the 5th and the 6th century. The cathedral has been raised up around year 1000 and inside people can admire the marvellous mosaics representing the Universal Judgement, similar to the one present in the Baptistery in Florence. Torcello is known as a quiet island because it is more or less populated by 20 inhabitants totally and when you walk along its ways it seems to live in a parallel dimension. Burano is famous for the local handicraft such as the laces and cookies, and for the colorful houses. It is said that in this way it was easier for sailors to recognize their homes in case of fog. Murano is famous worldwide for the production of blown glass. Inititially the factories were established in the historical center, but the Republic ordered that all the factories move to the island of Murano, to avoid the risk of fire from the ovens. See the Church of Santa Maria e Donato, famous for the paintings by Bellini and Veronese. In addition there is also the Glass Museum where you can admire a huge collection of ancient art glasses. |
