Welcome to Venice, I the Tiny Hippo, will be your esteemed guide! Let us start a whirlwind tour of the churches of this ancient city!

This is the lovely church of Santa Maria dei Miiracoli, just after sunrise.

Here is the church of San Nicolò da Tolentino, my favorite part is the clothes line on the left.

San Trovaso has two identical facades. This was so that the two rival Venetian factions, the Nicolotti and Castellani, could each have their own entrance of equal importance. I wonder where the Tiny Hippos enter?

San Rocco is one of five plague churches in Venice. These votive churches were built as symbols of thanks for the city’s deliverance from plague epidemics.

What a fabulous hat that man has!
