The Corte de le Pizzocchere is one of Venice's most charming and tranquil courtyards—a real insider tip in the San Marco district, very close to Campo Santo Stefano. Its name comes from the "Pizzocchere," pious women of the Third Order of St. Augustine, who lived here in the 17th and 18th centuries.

🏡 What makes this place special?

A narrow, elongated courtyard surrounded by two-story houses.

A "vera da pozzo" (fountain) in the center, bearing the coat of arms of the Da Lezze family, once provided lodging for the women.
