Venice, Italy

With its lovely colonnaded apse, this 12th-century basilica is the architectural highlight of the island of Murano.

Paolo Veronese spent a large part of his life decorating this unassuming 16th-century church, and was buried among his masterpieces.

This 9th-century church, one of the oldest in Venice, features a 15th-century facade by Coducci and a Madonna and Saints by Bellini.
