\"\"<\/a>The Palace of the Camel, in the Cannaregio disctrict.<\/h2>\n

IT WAS HOME OF THE MOORS, THREE GREEK BROTHERS; RIOBA, SANDI AND ALFANI. THE LEGEND TELLS THEY WERE TURNED INTO STONES DUE TO THEIR DISHONESTY.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could spend a lifetime exploring Venice, and you\u2019d never stop being surprised.<\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll love the most about Cannaregio<\/strong> is the quietness of its secluded spots, homes to local people and enchanting refuges for visitors.<\/p>\n

If you find yourselves strolling along Fondamenta Gasparo Contarini<\/em>, two steps away from Tintoretto\u2019s masterpieces<\/strong> inside the church of the <\/strong>Madonna dell\u2019Orto<\/strong>, you can\u2019t help but notice, on the opposite side of the rio, a magnificent palace, one-of-a-kind. We are talking about the Palazzo Mastelli<\/strong>, also known as \u201cPalazzo del Cammello<\/strong>\u201d, the Palace of the Camel. In fact, you can recognize a camel and its cameleer<\/strong> carved on its facade!<\/p>\n

According to tradition, the palace was owned by three wealthy brothers<\/strong>, coming from Morea (the Greek Peloponnese), whose names were Rioba, Sandi and Alfani. The three Moors<\/strong>, who were textile and spice merchants, were, together with one of their servants, depicted in the statues overlooking the nearby Campo dei Mori<\/strong>. It seems that they had an abundance of gold in \u201cmastelli<\/em>\u201d \u2013 basins -, hence the name of the family.<\/p>\n

A little further on, rises above the majestic Palazzo Contarini dal Zaffo<\/strong>, known for its beautiful garden, which was built by the cardinal Gasparo Contarini in the 16th Century. At the end of the Fondamenta<\/em>, you can find the darsena della Misericordia<\/strong>, a large dock, one of the locations in Venice where the Italian movie Pane e Tulipani<\/em> was filmed. A breathtaking view<\/strong> awaits us, from the bridge crossing Rio della Madonna dell\u2019Orto<\/em>, on the island of San Michele<\/strong>, Venice monumental cemetery, and\u00a0Murano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Palazzo Mastelli is a stop in the Crossroads of the world: jews, moors and christians<\/strong><\/a> itinerary, one of the ten Venetian craftsmanship and creativity routes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0promoted by the City of Venice.<\/p>\n
