Murano was one of the three islands of the Lagoon of Venice, we visited. It is among bigger islands and lies about half mile to the north of Venice. This time, Venice droped off. We focused onto islands Murano, Burano and Torcello.

This photo was taken next to the Basilica di Santi Maria e Donato. I don't know, what exactly houses this building. It looks nice to me, with that beautiful well in front of it.

Great page Olga! Another one of the islands that I unfortunately missed seeing. Wow, I didn't know Murano was actually a series of islands and bridges. The Basilica di Santi Maria e Donate looks amazing! I see I definately missed a lot! | LoriPori Mon Jun 19, 2006 13:54 UTC
