San Giorgio dei Greci - the smell of incense is my most vivid impression from this Greek Orthodox church in Castello. It's in a pleasant, green courtyard on a canal by the Ponte dei Greci. The inside is small, peaceful, and intimate, full of beautiful mosaics and Byzantine icons done by iconographers from Crete in the 1500's.

San Pantalon - I'd never heard of Fumiani until I went to Venice, but he painted one helluva fantastic ceiling here in the late 1600's. His dark, winged vision of the martyrdom of Saint Pantalon is spectacular, very much a 3-D illusionistic work. You'd never guess by the plain look of the church on the outside. At Campo San Pantalon, in Dorsoduro. Open only from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, Monday through Saturday.

Do not miss this magnificent church. The artwork, history, and craftmanship are incredible. This church is included in the Secrets of Venice Tour which is well worth doing - a great walking tour! |
