Walking along the Cannaregio Canal in Cannaregio one of the six sestieri of Venice in Veneto, Italy.
It was the main route into the city until the construction of a railway link to the mainland, gave the district its name (Canal Regio is Italian for Royal Canal). Development began in the eleventh century as the area was drained and parallel canals were dredged. Although elegant palazzos were built facing the Grand Canal, the area grew primarily with working class housing and manufacturing. The canal still runs as an important part of the district.
