What a perle in the buzzle of Venice. I enjoyed the closeness to great art. painting from Tintoret just in an empty sacred space. We had wonderful explanations from a friendly italian touristic guide sharing her insides for us. A lovely afternoon trip away from Saturday busyness on San MArco…

The front designed by Palladio is not one of his best works, it is very conventional.

Went here a bit out of season and on a Wednesday so the cafe was closed. I guess you can walk around the garden areas of this lovely church normally but only the church and the bell tower was open. Not much else to walk to apart from past the moored boats. Seems cut off from the rest of the island by fences. No matter as like most I wanted the tower view. A fair price of €6 to go up in the lift. Once up there you are treated to clear views from each side.

We chose here in preference to St Marks Campanile as we heard there was less queuing time and you can see St Marks from the top…
