TOUR n. 11

ANDREA PALLADIO AND THE ALL'ANTICA REINVENTION OF CHURCH ARCHITECTURE: THE CHURCHES OF SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE AND THE REDENTORE

 

 

Palladio was not invited to build palaces in Venice, but he was hired to design churches. Some of his important projects were actually refused and yet the classical language of his architecture in the churches of San Giorgio and the Redentore were to become blueprints for architecture for hundreds of years to come.

On the island of San Giorgio, and then on the Giudecca, you can admire the classical harmony and proportion of the two churches. At San Giorgio, we won’t let you miss the opportunity of a visit up the bell tower from where you can enjoy the best view of the Lagoon.
