The Giudecca Canal (Venetian: Canal de ła Zueca) is a body of water that flows into the San Marco basin in Venice, Italy.
It is one of the major canals in the city, it bisects the sestieri of Dorsoduro, separating Giudecca island and district from Dorsoduro district. It can be reached by the vaporetto from San Marco.[1]
