Lazzaretto Vecchio

Hospital · Italy

The Lazzaretto Vecchio, formerly known as Santa Maria di Nazareth, is an island of the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy, located near the Lido of Venice. Between 1403 and 1630 it housed a hospital which cared for people during the plague epidemics and as a leper colony, giving rise to the English words lazaret and lazaretto. It was later used, as were other islands, as a military post. It covers an area of 2.53 hectares large.
