Campo Santa Maria Formosa is one of several important and historic squares outside of St Mark’s. At 120 metres long and 60 metres wide, it is not one of the larger spaces in the city, but it is feature packed. This walk is 1 kilometre long and should take 1-2 hours depending on which museums and other features you choose to explore. There are two excellent art museums to discover, several important palazzi and of course the historic church of Santa Maria Formosa, one of the city’s ‘foundation’ churches.
This walk is a sub-section of Walk #10 ‘Formosa’ It is ideal if you have limited time or if you want to pack in lots of features over a short distance. If you do have extra time on your hands, taking in the full details offered along this route will take 3-4 hours.
