Venice- Church of San Giorgio Maggiore across Lagoon

San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th century Benedictine church on the island of the same name . It was designed by Andrea Palladio and built between 1566 and 1610.

 

The façade is brilliantly white and represents Palladio's solution to the difficulty of adapting a classical temple facade to the form of the Christian church.
