Cannaregio is one of the six historic sestieri of Venice, and the northernmost of the city. The quarter, the second largest of the city, was developed from the eleventh century. As the area was drained, parallel canals were dredged and the area became known for its working class housing, with a few grand palaces, mostly facing the Grand Canal. The district later became known for manufacturing, while in the nineteenth century the Strada Nuova street was run through Cannaregio, a railway bridge and later a road bridge to the mainland were constructed
