Church of San Giorgio Maggiore

Isola di S.Giorgio Maggiore
30133 Venezia VE

This church was designed by Andrea Palladio, who supervised its construction until his death. Constructed just a few years after the Refectory of the Monastery of the S. Giustina congregation, Palladio drew his inspiration from the great thermae of Ancient Rome. The sequence of spaces runs along a very distinctive central axis that assures the continuity in the building and the transition from one area of the church to another. In the details of the order, Palladio sought maximum variety, rejecting easy and predictable solutions. Panoramic view (from the belltower).
