One of the many islands of Venice, San Giorgio is small, and dominated by the San Giorgio Maggiore church, famous example of Palladio renaissance architecture.
San Marco is the most visited place of Venice, and truly crowded year-round. Just across the waters of the Bacino lies the island of San Giorgio, easily recognizable by the San Giorgio Maggiore church and campanile or belltower. While beautiful from a distance, a short hop by boat takes you right to the doorstep of the church. Here you can easily see the mastership of Andrea Palladio, the famous Venetian architect. This was his first church design, and as in his other buildings, he managed to incorporate classical forms in contemporary buildings.
