The view from the belltower over the roof of San Giorgio Maggiore

The Church of San Giorgio Maggiore is on a similarly named small island across the waters from the Piazza San Marco in Venice. The first church was built here in the eighth century with a Benedictine monastery established in 982.

The present Renaissance basilica was mostly erected between 1565 and 1610.
