The lace-making fishermen's island where every house is painted a different bright colour along the canals. Wander away from the main street, eat fish, and stay for the late light before the boat back.

A good start before the island's furnaces.Torcello Cathedral (Santa Maria Assunta)Torcello · The lagoon's first cathedral, on an almost empty island among reeds and salt marsh, where Venice began: a huge Byzantine Last Judgement mosaic on the west wall and a golden Virgin in the apse.
