| Squero di San Trovaso |
We happened by chance to walk past the squero di san Trovaso - a small shipyard used in Venice to build and repair small boats such as gondolas. I recognized it just because I had seen a picture of it in some magazine or online while traveling to Italy. Its website bills it as Venice's most famous squero. It does stand out from all of the surrounding buildings with its different architecture and having such an open area on the corner of two intersecting canals. Even today, they build gondolas by hand - no machines.
