Description
Named for the Gothic church found nearby, Campo Santo Stefano is a great location to find apartments for rent in a convenient location--whether you're on a weeklong honeymoon or an extended business trip. Historically, the "Corsa al Toro" bullfights used to be staged here, until the stands collapsed in 1802. In addition to all the usual marbles, columns, and facades, there is a huge plaque to Doge Morosini, who is best known as the man responsible for blowing up the Parthenon. This square is also the second largest in Venice, after Piazza San Marco, and is lined with small cafes and shops. Be sure to stop at Paolin, famous world-wide for it's pistachio ice cream.
