Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: San Zanipolo

Venice (ital. Venezia) is one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide with about 30 million visitors each year. As each tourist takes at least 100 photos (minimum!) in Venice 3000000000 photos are taken here per year, what means more than 8 millions per day. - To the right, partly hidden by the scaffolding, is the brick façade of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, dubbed "San Zanipolo" by the Venetians. The church is known as the burial ground for the Doges of Venice. Next to the church is the façade of the "Scuola Grande di San Marco", once home to one of the major sodalities of Venice. In 1819, when Venice was part of the Austrian-held Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, the building became a military hospital. The military moved out - but this is still a hospital. This is the main entrance of the "Ospedale SS. Giovanni e Paolo".
