Squero di San Trovaso is an iconic shipyard in Venice's Dorsoduro district, widely recognized as one of the oldest and last remaining sites where gondolas are meticulously crafted and repaired. Its rustic wooden sheds, reminiscent of Alpine chalets, contrast strikingly with the surrounding Venetian architecture. From the opposite side of the canal, visitors can watch skilled artisans shape and paint the sleek gondola hulls, preserving traditions that date back centuries. Though entry is typically restricted, the view offers a fascinating window into Venetian heritage and craftsmanship, making it a worthwhile stop near the Gallerie dell’Accademia.
