Torcello Cathedral

Torcello Cathedral anchors one of the lagoon’s oldest settled islands, where the quieter landscape makes Venice’s early history easier to imagine than in the crowded centre. The cathedral and surrounding archaeological setting are best planned as a dedicated lagoon outing, with boat time included in the day.
