What makes Private Cruise: Churches and Cloisters on the Islands of Venice a unique experience ?
The beautiful Palladian façade of the church invites people to visit the whole island, also called the “cypress island” as the first settlement of a Benedictine community. The island offers a breathtaking view of Venice from the top of the bell tower.
A little jewel of the lagoon, San Lazzaro degli Armeni island, dedicated to San Lazzaro, patron of leprous, in fact the island was first a leper hospital. After few centuries of decay, at the beginning of the 18th century, a community of Armenian monks, settled here. They turned the old building into a monastery. The islands became an incredible cultural center, world famous for the collection of books and the typography opened in 1789.
Recognizable by a small cypress Wood, in the middle of the lagoon between Sant’Erasmo and Burano. Since 1227 it has housed a friary founded by San Francesco from Assisi on his way back from the Holy Land during the 5th crusade. It is here that the “Miracle of the birds” took place.
