In the Ship Pavilion, a detached section of the Venice Naval Historical Museum, you can survey a fascinating collection of historic ships.

From there you will continue exploring Castello, featuring outdoor visits to the magnificent churches and squares that have marked the history of local communities and defined people's spirituality through the growth and decline of the Republic of Venice until today. Throughout your tour you will also encounter some places off-the-beaten path which are rich in art and history.
