San Giorgio's Cloister


The first settlement on San Giorgio (the island that you can see right in front of you when you are on the Piazzetta) dates back to 790, with the construction of the first church dedicated to San Giorgio. The present conventual complex has been built from the 15th to the 17th century. A large part of it (that I will show you tomorrow) is architect Andrea Palladio's work, between 1559 and 1580.
