About This Location
Ponte de Piscina is a small footbridge in the San Marco district, crossing the Rio dei Barcaroli. It sits in a dense web of lanes where the quickest routes are often the ones that feel least obvious. The name “Piscina” in Venice usually points to a small widening of water nearby - a practical space where boats could pause, turn, or load. Even if the canal here looks quiet today, it is part of the same working water network that once kept shops, workshops, and theatres supplied day after day. To continue, walk straight ahead, then take a right, and then a left onto the narrow lane called Ramo del Salvadego. A quick look at the map helps keep the turns clear.
