| | Sestiere Di Cannaregio |
 | | Here we have a great district, through which passes the Cannaregio and in which of old the Ghetto stood, but which is today, I suppose, the part of Venice least frequented by the stranger and the poorest in great churches and monuments, yet it includes the SS. |
 | | Thence we proceed due west, along the Cannaregio, which at last we leave, to S. Giobbe, a plague church and convent, built in the middle of the fifteenth century by Doge Cristoforo Moro, the friend of S. Bernardino. |
 | | Just beyond it stands the Palazzo Labia in the Cannaregio, with some fine frescoes by Tiepolo of the story of Antony and Cleopatra in the great hall on the first floor. |
