The interesting compound called Case della Marinarezza consists of old popular dwellings which, according to a traditional custom of Venice, were given to sailors who stood out on merits to the Republic of Venice. Introduced by two large arches dating back to 1645, they are structured in three parallel units dating back to the XV century representing one of the oldest examples of popular housing with semi-detached houses, according to an identical modular structure.
