Burano is also known for its small, brightly painted houses, which are popular with photographers and artists. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development. If someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the local government authority, which will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot.
Other attractions include the Church of San Martino, with a leaning campanile and a painting by Giambattista Tiepolo (Crufixion, 1727), the Oratorio di Santa Barbara and the Museum and School of Lacemaking.

While waiting for me to arrive in Venice for our Aegean/Mediterranean cruise, my husband spent a few days in Venice and visited Murano, where they do the glass-blowing. I've never visited either island, but I think I'd prefer Burano with its beautifully painted houses.
