Castello, Residential district in Venice, Italy
Castello extends as the largest of the six districts in Venice, stretching from San Marco to the eastern edge of the city.
The district obtained its name from a fortified castle built during the eighth century on the island of San Pietro di Castello.
The Arsenale, located in Castello, represents the naval power of Venice through its extensive shipbuilding facilities and maritime exhibitions.
Visitors can reach Castello using water bus lines 4.1 and 5.1, which travel along the external perimeter of Venice providing transportation access.
The Greek Orthodox Church of San Giorgio dei Greci in Castello indicates the presence of a 5,000-person Greek community during medieval times.
