At the end of a blind calle (street) behind the Scuola degli Schiavoni, an entrance passage leads into the silent courtyard of the Priory of San Giovanni di Malta: here, where the calle dei Furlani preserves the name of the Friulians, the Templars first and then, from 1312, the Knights of Malta had their Venetian house — church, hospital, cloister and garden.
