The sestiere Castello is the largest of Venice's districts and the only one that does not overlook the Grand Canal. Its name derives from the presence of a medieval fort that was built on the island of San Pietro. The sestiere borders directly with Cannaregio and San Marco. With the latter it is also connected by the famous Ponte di Paglia (Straw Bridge) that links the quay of St. Mark's Square with the Riva degli Schiavoni.

One of the most ancient of Venice, with many places as the city in the past time. There is also the Arsenale monument where the Serenissima Republic made the wood ships of its fleet.
