Passing boat at sunrise, with San Giorgio Maggiore church in the background
San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on its namesake island in Venice, designed by Andrea Palladio and built between 1566 and 1610. Its white marble façade stands out across the lagoon from St. Mark’s Square, creating a striking focal point along the Riva degli Schiavoni.
