Overview
Sant'Elena is an island of Venice. It lies at the eastern tip of the main island group and forms part of the sestiere of Castello.
The original island was separated by an arm of the Venetian Lagoon from Venice itself and was centered on the Church of Sant'Elena and its monastery, originally built in the twelfth century and rebuilt in the 15th. In the 1920s, the island was expanded to fill in the gap; it is linked to the rest of the city by three bridges.
