San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on the island of the same name.
The bell tower here allows you to see the San Marco basilica and the Palazzo Ducale across the water. Besides the nicer view, the lines are also limited or non-existing. The bell tower was built in 1791, after the previous one collapsed in 1774. This weekend day was sunny and mild, yet very few people were on the island.
The white church of San Giorgio Maggiore is not the original church of the island, but actually the third one. The first one was built around 790 and was destroyed by the earthquake in 1223.
