Murano: The Island of Glass
Murano is an archipelago of islands in the northern Venetian Lagoon, famous worldwide for its centuries-old tradition of artistic glassmaking. The island is often considered a "Little Venice" due to its structure, divided by a main canal crossed by bridges. Murano has been the historical home of glass furnaces since 1291, when they were moved here for fire safety reasons. Highlights include: The Glass Museum (Museo del Vetro), which documents the history and evolution of this millennial art. The Church of Santa Maria e Donato, famous for its splendid Byzantine mosaic floor (12th century). The numerous glass factories where you can witness glass blowing demonstrations. Visiting Murano means immersing yourself in a unique artisanal tradition, where the art of glass continues to shine brightly.
