| San Giorgio Maggiore, Giudecca, Venice |
Built on the Venetian island of the same name, on which all buildings had been destroyed by a 1223 earthquake, this church has a brilliant white marble facade, which is thrown into sharper focus by the blue of the surrounding water. The original campanile fell in 1774 and was rebuilt some 20 years later; the splendid view from its top is now even easier to access thanks to the inclusion of a lift.
