Riva Ca' di Dio, near the Arsenale vaporetto stop. This convent was built in the second half of the thirteenth century as a hospice for pilgrims. In 1360, the building was reused and as a home for women who had fallen to poverty. The convent was completely rebuilt in 1570. Now used as a home for the elderly.
