Castello Sestiere: the Arsenale, Venice Biennale Gardens & San Giovanni e Paolo

The sestiere of Castello — the largest of Venice's six districts, stretching from the area immediately east of San Marco to the eastern tip of the main island — was for five centuries the industrial heart of Venice: the Arsenale (the state shipyard established in 1104 and at its 15th-century peak employing 16,000 workers and capable of completing one warship per day) was the most advanced industrial facility in the medieval world and the foundation of Venetian naval supremacy in the Mediterranean.
