THE LAGOON ISLANDS

We will start from St. Mark's Square to go direct to Murano Island , the biggest Island famous for its glassworks. Here, in 1291 all the glassblowers, were moved for security reasons. Then we will go to Burano island, famous for its painted houses and buildings and for its lace works. At the end the boat will leave to Torcello that is the smaller of the three Islands . Now, only 13 people are living there but, on the X century it was a big centre with 40.000 habitants, 12 churches and convents. It was also the richest and most powerful island on the lagoon.
