Venice Grand Canal is a lifestyle mall development under Megaworld Lifestyle Malls [1] located inside the 50-hectare (120-acre) McKinley Hill township of Megaworld Corporation in Taguig, Philippines. [2]

Contents

The mall architecture is inspired by the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Megaworld consulted the Rome-based architectural firm Paolo Marioni Architetto for the mall's Italian-inspired architectural design. [3] The mall has a replica of the Venetian grand canal with gondola ride tours available for visitors. [4] The canal is 200 meters (660 ft) long, and 15 meters (49 ft) wide. The gondolas are stationed underneath the Rialto Bridge replica.

The mall also has replicas of St. Mark's Campanile in Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge, and the Ponte de Amore Bridge, which includes an interactive love locks installation. [5]
