Sant'Andrea (Venetian Lagoon)


Sant'Andrea is a small island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy.
It houses the Forte di Sant'Andrea, a large fortress built in the 16th century to defend Venice. Sant'Andrea constitutes a prolongation of the island of Vignole, from which it is separated by a narrow channel, towards the Porto di San Nicolò on the Lido, between Venice's Island and the island of Sant'Erasmo.
