Discover the eerie and fascinating side of Venice as you follow a route of dark legends and uncanny stories. Meander through the city's winding alleys and feel the atmosphere shift as each tale unfolds.

Visit the Church of San Zaccaria, linked to violent events in Venice's past and the stories of betrayed rulers. Walk past narrow canals and centuries-old façades as the guide recounts chilling accounts such as the Venetian Butcher and other macabre episodes that linger in local memory.

Pause at the famous House of Spirits to learn why fishermen avoid its waters, then examine the curious sculptures of the House of the Mysterious Statues and uncover the peculiar lore attached to them. The route moves through intimate neighbourhoods and quieter squares, offering a striking contrast to the city's tourist hotspots while conjuring images of its shadowed past.

The experience concludes with a moving legend centred on the miraculous Madonna dellOrto and the devotion that surrounds it. This walking audio experience blends historical fact and folklore to create an evocative portrait of Venice's hidden histories.
