Geography
Giudecca lies immediately south of the central islands of Venice, from which it is separated by the Giudecca Canal. San Giorgio Maggiore lies off its eastern tip.
History
Giudecca was known in ancient times as the Spinalunga (meaning "Long Thorn"). The name Giudecca may represent a corruption of the Latin "Judaica" ("Judaean") and so may be translated as "the Jewry": a number of towns in Southern Italy and Sicily have Jewish quarters named Giudecca or Judeca. However, the original Venetian Ghetto was in Cannaregio, in the north of the city, and there is no evidence, but for the name, of Jews ever having lived in Giudecca. Furthermore, the term "Giudecca" was not used to denote the Jewish quarters of towns in northern Italy.
Giudecca was historically an area of large palaces with gardens, the island became an industrial area in the early 20th century with shipyards and factories, and a film studio. Much of the industry went into decline after World War II, but it is now once more regarded as a quiet residential area of largely working-class housing with some chic apartments and exclusive houses. It is known for its long dock and its churches, including the Palladio-designed Il Redentore. The island was the home of a huge flour mill, the Molino Stucky, which has been converted into a luxury hotel and apartment complex. At the other end of Giudecca is the famous five-star Cipriani hotel with large private gardens and salt-water pool.
Resort town
Modern renovations of some antique architecture in Giudecca have bolstered the island's reputation as a vacation locale. In 2011, Venetian developers reopened the lodgings of a prominent 16th-century mansion as long-term rentals under the name "Villa F."[1]

Al sur de Venecia (Véneto, Italia) podemos encontrar Giudecca, un grupo de islas que se separa de las islas rialtinas por un canal llamado Canale della Giudecca. Forma parte del sestiere de Dorsoduro. Se encuentra aproximadamente a una distancia de 300 metros de la ciudad y se tardan unos tres minutos desde la plaza de San Marcos en barco (vaporetto) para llegar. Aunque son las islas más grandes de los alrededores no cuentan con un gran tamaño. De este a oeste miden unos 2000 metros, mientras que de norte al sur apenas llegan a unos 300 metros. Cuena con 4.792 habitantes, a los que habría que añadir los 1.458 de Sacca Fisola.[fr] Giudecca
La Giudecca est une des îles de la lagune de Venise (celle-ci est plus exactement un groupement de neuf îles), la plus grande, immédiatement au sud des îles centrales, dont elle est séparée par le canal de la Giudecca. Elle dépend administrativement du sestiere de Dorsoduro depuis 1171.[it] Giudecca
La Giudecca (Giudèca in dialetto locale, anticamente Zudèca e Zuèca) è un'isola (o, meglio, un insieme di otto isole collegate tra loro) posta a sud del centro storico di Venezia. Si affaccia sull'omonimo canale della Giudecca, di fronte al sestiere di Dorsoduro, di cui l'isola fa parte dal punto di vista amministrativo[2]. Situata a sud rispetto al resto della città, ne costituisce una zona residenziale piuttosto tranquilla e priva di eccessiva presenza turistica. Alla Giudecca vera e propria (4 142[1] abitanti) si è aggiunta in tempi recenti Sacca Fisola (1 292[1] abitanti), un'isola posta all'estremità occidentale ottenuta bonificando parte della Laguna.[ru] Джудекка
