St. George Major Cathedral in Venice: photos, reviews

About

The majestic Cathedral of San Giorgio Maggiore towers over its namesake Venetian island. Inside, it is divided into three naves, each with 6 chapels. The main altar of the cathedral captures attention, especially with its sculpture of Christ standing on a sphere, supported by the evangelists. The interior is adorned with paintings by the artist Tintoretto, among them is "The Last Supper". Notably, tourists are even allowed to take photos inside the building. And while the cathedral itself impresses with its elegance and architecture, the greatest interest is in its bell tower, which stands 75 meters tall. Climbing it, one can enjoy the view of Venice. For a small fee, tourists can ascend to the very top of the viewing platform, the main thing is to make it back down before services begin. At that time, the bells start ringing, their sound heard beyond the island.

ボスのいる場所、サン・ジョルジョ・マッジョーレ島に行きました。ちゃんとひとりで上陸しました。サン・マルコ広場周辺はかなり混雑していましたが、この島は人も少なく、すごく静かで穏やかな場所でした。聖堂は外観がとてもきれいです。青空に白い建物が映える。内部は光の入り方が印象的。塔にはエレベーター(有料)で登ります。現金しか使えないのでご注意ください！塔の上からは360°遠くまでヴェネツィアの島と街が見渡せて絶景です。塔の上に登ると、そこにいた人の半分以上は日本から来た方でした。みんなトリシュを守りたいのね。

Tranquillità e pace. Da star bene e riposare

Great place, a bit far away from standard tourist routes. There is even a little modern art exhibition at the basilica. Unfortunately, the bell tower was closed for renovations.
