Marco Polo's House

The Venetian building that was once the supposed home of famous explorer Marco Polo and his family is now easily missable to passers-by. The nearby square is known as the Corte Seconda del Milion, pointing to the title of Marco Polo's travel memoirs—Il Milione.
Located near the San Giovanni Crisostomo Church and just behind the Teatro Malibran, the building is not open to the public, but there is a small marble plaque on the wall commemorating the site's significance.

Practical Info

The building faces a small triangular patch of sidewalk next to a canal, which you can reach by walking through a "sottoportego" - a passageway that cuts through what would be the ground floor of a building - in the Corte Seconda del Milion. It can be quite difficult to find, but it is very close to the Teatro Malibran.
