Photo: San Giorgio Maggiore Venice
Situated on the island of San Giorgio, the facade of the San Giorgio Maggiore faces the Piazza San Marco in Venice, Italy.
An image which has been captured on canvas numerous times is the San Giorgio Maggiore which sits across the glistening waters of the Laguna Veneta opposite the San Marco area of Venice.
Built between 1559 and 1580, the church and monastery San Giorgio Maggiore was designed by Andrea Palladio and is dubbed one of his greatest architectural achievements.
The Church houses two major works of art by the famous artist Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), namely The Last Supper and the Miracle of Manna.
