Giudecca Canal, Canal between Giudecca Island and Dorsoduro district, Venice, Italy.
This wide waterway stretches 4 kilometers along Venice's southern edge, connecting San Marco Basin with the Venetian Lagoon and Grand Canal.
The canal received its name in the 9th century when the Venetian Republic allocated plots of land on Giudecca Island to nobles returning from exile.
The waterfront displays architectural masterworks including Palladio's Il Redentore church, Le Zitelle church, and the converted Molino Stucky industrial complex.
Multiple vaporetto lines operate regular services along the canal, connecting travelers between San Marco, Dorsoduro, and eight smaller Giudecca islands.
The canal's depth and width make it the primary route for large vessels entering Venice, including modern cruise ships and commercial boats.
