Using rafts(zattere), floating timber was unloaded onto these quays. This is where the promenade along Giudecca canal gets its name. From here you will get a great view of the buildings on the island with the same name (beyond the canal) such as the Church of the Redeemer. On the same quay, there are old salt warehouses, the Church of the Holy Spirit, the old hospital of the Incurables, and many cafes. Try the delicious local ice cream while waiting for the vaporetto!
