Torcello Island
Of all the islands of the lagoon, Torcello, the so-called Mother of
Venice, offers the most charm. It was the first settlement in the
lagoon, during the 5th Century. A legend tells that St. Mark stopped here
during his journey to Aquileia; and it is still a mystery the discovery,
in 1983, of an Egyptian Isis and Horus little statue. The cathedral, Santa
Maria Assunta, is a masterpiece, with its gorgeous floor and mosaics: the
original church was built in the 7th century; the bell tower was added in
11th century, and the interior has a byzantine structure and is enricihed
with mosaics.
