The Rialto Market, one of the most ancient and important markets in Italy, is certainly one of the must-see places in Venice. Located near the Rialto Bridge, it covers the area between Campo San Giacomo di Rialto and Campo della Pescaria and it hosts the famous fish market, indeed called Pescaria, with many fish counters located under the Loggia, and the fruit and vegetable market, in Venetian Erbaria, with fresh fruit and vegetables in outdoor counters.

This area has been the location of the city market since 1097, where in the past you could buy not only every kind of food product such as fish, meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables, but also exotic goods, such as Asian spices and fine materials, like gold and silk.
