The construction of the Little Venice neighborhood is estimated to have taken place from the 13th to the mid-18th century. During thattimeframe, the island used to be underVenetian rule.
Most of the houses used to belong to wealthy individuals, such as merchants or captains, hence the elegant architecture of the buildings.
