Built in the Romanesque style, the Church of Santa Maria and San Donato features a colorful mosaic floor and is said to house the bones of a slain dragon.
  • Burano - Burano is situated in the Venetian Lagoon, and like its neighbor seven kilometers to the south, Venice, it is actually a community made up of several small islands connected by bridges.
