This hidden spiral staircase is one of Venice’s most unique architectural gems. Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, the Scala Contarini del Bovolo (bovolo means “snail” in Venetian) is a beautiful mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Venetian styles. Climb to the top for a stunning panoramic view of the city’s rooftops.
