"The profession of gondolier is controlled by a guild, which issues a limited number of licenses granted after periods of training and apprenticeship, and a major comprehensive exam which tests knowledge of Venetian history and landmarks, foreign language skills, and practical skills in handling the gondola typically necessary in the tight spaces of Venetian canals."&lt;br /&gt;

This was an all male profession until August 2010 when Giorgia Boscolo became the first female gondolier in Venice's history. &lt;br /&gt;

It was built in the 17th Century as a French fort and expanded by the British between between 1820 and 1831.  In its time, because of its location at the top of the hill overlooking a narrow strait and its star shape, it was a mighty defense against a potential threat by the Americans and potential internal revolt.&lt;br /&gt;
