Ca' Foscolo Residence is conveniently located in the very heart of the city. A few hundred meters from the Rialto bridge, this historical building overlooks the quiet, secluded Campo della Fava, yet is just steps from the most frequented tourist routes. Its location is equally close Saint Mark's Square, where the most famous monuments and museums of Venice be found: Basilica of Saint Mark, Doge's Palace, the Procuratie, the Correr Museum, the Marciana Library. To reach the characteristic vegetable, fruit and fish market of Rialto, one must merely cross the picturesque Rialto Bridge with its historical shops, while the most elegant shopping area is toward the Mercerie, few hundreds meters from Ca' Foscolo, which leads you directly Saint Mark's Square, passing under the Clock tower.
