Photo: Campanile View Italy
The Campanile view of the white face of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore on the island of the same name in the city of Venice, Veneto in Italy, Europe.
Across from the Piazza San Marco, the Basilica di San Marco and the Campanile di San Marco in Venice, Italy, is the island of San Giorgio Maggiore where you will find the church of San Giorgio Maggiore. There has always been a church on the island since the 8th century, and in the 10th century a Benedictine monastery was built.
In the late 15th century the present church was began and the campanile was constructed in 1791. A visit to the top of the Campanile di San Marco will give a wonderful view of Venice, Italy and the roof of the Basilica di San Marco.
The Campanile view of San Giorgio Maggiore island, the church and the similar campanile surrounded by the blue waters of Saint Mark's Basin is a most interesting sight.The rather startling white facade of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore is even more ethereal at night when it is floodlit with a blue-grey hue. ... continue below the picture...
