Does anyone recognise this tower? http://arglist.com/cgi-bin/image?gallery=venice&name=20050527-010
Is it worth uploading the image? Ghouston 12:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, it's the Church of Sant'Elena itself, which is the only church on the island. Looking at the satellite image, it's the southernmost of the clutch of red buildings on the far right of the island. -- Necrothesp 00:27, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll upload it. Ghouston 18:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Is it really disused? My (1998) Blue Guide to Venice says it's still used, although I accept it could have been decommissioned during the last seven years (and I didn't get out to it last time I was there). But the Venice Archdiocesan website (see Vicariato: San Marco - Castello) still lists it as a parish. -- Necrothesp 20:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I found a note in a loney planet guide that says that the "now closed Chiesa di Sant'Elena" was abandoned in 1806, but reopened for a while from 1928. But it's not very authoritative, so I'll remove the "disused" label for now. Ghouston 00:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- The Blue Guide says it closed in 1807, but reopened in 1928 and is still open! -- Necrothesp 00:55, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- The park is nameed: Rimembranze (remindings)
