Not far from St Mark's Square is the Traghetto Gondole Molo harbour with many small gondolas. In this night shot with long exposure, we look across to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The small island lies to the east of the larger neighbouring island Giudecca and is home to several beautiful churches and an industrial monument. From the piazzetta at the Doge's Palace, there is a beautiful view of the island's scenery, the basilica and the monastery. San Giorgio Maggiore is located in the basin of San Marco at the outlet of the Canale della Giudecca and can be reached in 5 minutes by vaporetto from San Marco. The monastery and the church on the island bear the same name. The island of San Gorgio Maggiore is 490 metres long, up to 320 metres wide and covers an area of about 10 hectares.
