Sant'Elena

Sant'Elena is an island of Venice. It lies at the eastern tip of the main island group and forms part of Castello sestiere. The original island was separated by art of the Venetian Lagoon from Venice itself, and was centred on the Church of Sant'Elena and its monastery, originally built in the twelfth century and rebuilt in the fifteenth.

The island has since been expanded to fill in the gap and is linked by Venice by three bridges. It includes the Rimembraze Park, a naval college and a football stadium, Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, in addition to residential areas and Venice Bienniale buildings.
