Overlooking the City of Venice (Miniature)
Overlooking the city of Venice from the Campanile di San Marco.
In the middle is the church of Santa Maria della Salute, built in 1630, after nearly a third of Venice's 150,000 citizens had been killed by plague, the Venetian Senate made an offer to God: "Stop the plague, and we'll build a church to honor the Virgin Mary".
HAPPY MINIATURE SUNDAY!
