What you'll see
Thick Venetian walls around the old town's landward side, with Five Wells Square tucked beneath them: a row of five stone wellheads, a medieval tower and a small park on the bastion above.
A brief history
The walls are part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing of Venice's 16th- and 17th-century defences. The wells were built over a big cistern so the town had water during Ottoman sieges.
