Following the San Polo Canal we pass Campo San Boldo, with its truncated bell-tower, one of the special hidden corners of the city. Following smaller internal canals, we reach the Grand Canal and admire Ca’ d’Oro, the Gothic palazzo facing the Rialto market. The lively market, largest in the city, still attracts Venetians and tourists to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, but especially fish from the Adriatic.
