Southern Giudecca canal walk
Like the northern version you walk along the entire Giudecca canal, but in this case on the Giudecca island.

I Gesuati
Santa Maria del Rosario
18th-century Dominican church on the Giudecca canal. The classical style building has a well-lit interior and is exceptional in preserving its original layout and Rococo decoration intact. The church and almost all its sculpture and paintings were created within a 30-year period: construction began in 1725, the church was consecrated in 1743, and the last sculptural decoration was in place by 1755.

Northern Giudecca canal walk
It's a long and sunny walk along the Giudecca canal, protected during winter time from cold northerly winds for being exposed to south and shielded by buildings. You might find interesting to see how a gondola is made, stopping by the Squero (Venetian for small ship yard) across a canal near San Trovaso Church. It's one of the few still in business in town. With some luck, you'll see some gondole through various manufacturing steps (gondole are not straight to counterbalance the gondoliere push).
