Squero di San Trovaso

The central role of the Venetian boat as the main means of transport for passengers in the Venetians came to an end after the introduction of motor boats a century ago. The San Trovaso shipyard (Squerodi San Trovaso) is one of the only remaining factories in Venice to manufacture gondolas (Venice boats), where about 10 new boats are produced every year. The shipyard is not open to the public and can only be seen from the other side.
