When looking for an escape of Venice's crowds, Torcello is an interesting option: a quiet island, a cathedral with some amazing frescoes and mosaics, and great views of the archipelago.
The cathedral itself has a brilliant, tall mosaic on one side, painted panels in the middle, and frescoes in the apse. The floor also merits a closer look, since it has beautiful mosaic patterns. After the cathedral, I also saw the smaller church of Santa Fosca, and the throne of Attila, on which supposedly justice was delivered in days gone by. And then, on my way back to the boat, I came across a wedding party, who moved with me on the boat back towards Burano. The bride and groom joined in their wedding dresses, and queued for the boat to Venice in Burano. Just days before the wedding of my own sister, I was a coincidental witness of a real Venetian wedding taking a public boat to La Serenissima.
