This harbour was built by the Venetians.
What is the name of the city and the island on which it is situated?

I'm in a bit of a quandry.  The painting is a forgery but not, as far as I am aware, in the Brtrish Museum.  There is another similar picture of Skaters in Holland in the Museum, but not this one.   So you're half right and half wrong - but well done anyway!

Can't leave it going for obvious reasons!    Z**

It`s a pedestrian bridge, in two halves, which enables it to be opened to let small ships in and out of a small dockyard into Caernarfon Dock.

Couldn't ask for a more comprehensive answer than that!  $good$ This is it in its entirety:
