Torcello is the oldest center of civil rule in Venezia (Venezia was  settled    when flooding on the mainland caused mosquitos to flourish and  creating a malaria    epidemic which drove the people from Torcello). We almost missed the  boat back    from Torcello, which would have been very bad &#8211; there are only 75  full-time    residents, and the main attraction is the church which dates back to  the 900s    AD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-3659\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 3659);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-3659\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-3659\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For our last full day in Venezia, we took an afternoon cruise to three islands: Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
