Teatro La Fenice is the main opera theater in Venice, northeast Italy. Destroyed several times and rebuilt, it hosts an important operatic season and an international contemporary music festival.
Built quickly in just over a year, it opened on May 16, 1792 with Giovanni Paisiello's opera I giochi di Agrigento.
It was destroyed on December 13, 1836 by a fire, but was rebuilt shortly afterwards, repeating the original design. One hundred years passed and in 1937 it was restored by Eugenio Miozzi.

Stop At: Ponte de le Ostreghe, Calle de Le Ostreghe San Marco 2438, 30124 Venice Italy
Experience the timeless charm of Venice as you cross the Ponte delle Ostreghe, an architectural relic dating back to the city's ancient times. This unique bridge, situated between the districts of San Marco and San Moisè, offers a captivating insight into Venetian life and the sparkling waters of the Grand Canal.
Originally built in wood in the 12th century, the Ponte delle Ostreghe was rebuilt in stone in the 18th century, preserving its historical authenticity and its importance as an emblematic landmark. Its peculiar name, which translates to "Bridge of Oysters," is reminiscent of the ancient oysters that once adorned the waters below.

Santa Maria della Salute (Saint Mary of Health) is a basilica in Venice, which stands near the Punta della Dogana (Customs Point).
