Island and Cathedral of San Giorgio Maggiore

San Giorgio Maggiore, San Giorgio Maggiore Island
Italy, Venice
San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the most famous islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Area - 0.1 sq. km.

In the 10th century, a Benedictine monastery was founded here, which was destroyed several times (in 1223 from an earthquake), and subsequently restored several times. In 1565-1610, the architect Andrea Palladio erected the Cathedral of San Giorgio Maggiore. The cathedral has 3 naves with 6 chapels. Now the cathedral is the central building on the island.

Beauty Venice in the palm of your hand.
On the island, you need to allocate time to take a leisurely stroll through the park and climb the bell tower. There are no channels, fuss and a large number of people. The good news is that an elevator costs 6 euros to climb the bell tower. An elevator with glass walls clearly shows which stairs you are spared : ) Getting here is not difficult, the vaporetto will take you from the San Zaccaria stop for 4 euros. Swim for approximately 5 minutes. The view from the bell tower is amazing: a wonderful view of the city, the Venetian Canal, the Giudecca, the docks, the parked yachts and the blue distance.→

City view lovers
The bell tower of the Cathedral of San Giorgio Maggiore is an excellent viewing platform for contemplating the beauties of the Venetian lagoon! How to get there? Vaporetto number 2 goes to the island (the pier is located near Piazza San Marco). What is the price? Entrance to the cathedral itself is free, climbing the bell tower - 3 euros. Inside the cathedral, to the left of the entrance, there is a passage to the elevator, which will take you to the very top. And, what is nice, this island is very quiet and calm.→
