35 MONKS, SEMINARIANS, AND ARMENIAN STUDENTS LIVE

THE VENETIAN LAGOON
VENICE ISN*T JUST PALACES, CHURCHES, AND ART
MUSEUMS. THE CITY SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LAGOON
THAT IS RICH IN WILDLIFE AND TRADITION.

CHIOGGIA, A BUSY FISHING PORT AT THE SOUTHERN TIP
OF THE VENETIAN LAGOON, IS AN HOUR AND A HALF
FROM VENICE BY BUS AND FERRY.
CHURCHES
MADONNA DELL*ORTO
*VENICE*S FINEST GOTHIC CHURCH* IS A GREAT
STARTING POINT FOR A WALKING TOUR THROUGH ONE OF
THE CITY*S MOST PLEASANT BUT LEAST TOURISTED
NEIGHBORHOODS.
SANTA MARIA DELLA SALUTE CHURCH
AS YOU STARE UP AT THE SOARING DOME OF THIS
MAGNIFICENT BASILICA, REMEMBER THAT IT OWES ITS
EXISTENCE TO PLAGUE-RIDDEN FLEAS.

LORD BYRON ROMANTICIZED THIS ELEVATED CORRIDOR
FOR CRIMINALS, AND YOU CAN CROSS IT AS A PAYING
