Dorsoduro district Venice

Dorsoduro district Venice connects itself to San Marco district through Accademia bridge.
The west side of this district is composed by the Mendigola island, one of the first areas of the town that has been colonized, few centuries before Rialto became the center of Venice (810).
In the century XI, on Mendigola island, was built the famous church of San Nicolò dei Mendicoli.
The islands nearby were colonized in the following years until Punta della Dogana , who is named due to the presence of the Custom of Venice.
