Isola di San Michele

Venice (ital. Venezia) is one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide with about 30 million visitors each year.

I have already uploaded dozens of shots from previous visits, so I´ll try to cut down the number of uploads this time.

Tradition knows, that a church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, was built here in the 10th century.

In 1212 the church was given to the Camaldolese, who built a monastery, and around 1300 it was granted it the title of an abbey. In the 15th century, the complex was rebuilt. The cloister was built between 1448 and 1466
