Tips from locals
Not many people now this place, it remind us the important link between venice and the east. Venice was infact part of the silk road and here you can find a evidence of the glorious trade of spices and silk and precious goods. You can see Palazzo Mastella with a statue of a camel and in campo dei mori the 3 statues of the oriental merchants
Three statues embedded in the wall, portraits of three mercantile brothers from the Morea - the so-called "Mori" - give the Campo its name.
Famous square with its 4 stautues of 4 persian brothers arrived in Venice many centuries ago and trasformed in statue by God because of their love for gold and their obsession for money
Si chiama così per via della presenza di quattro statue trecentesche in pietra d'Istria inserite nei muri delle case che circondano il Campo.
