Ahh...Venice

There can be no doubt! Venice is truely one of the most amazing cities in the world.

It´s old and it shows, but it has a genuine charme that You often don´t find in places where so many tourists visit every year - but Venice has kept her viginity.

My only advice for those who visit her... get away from the highlight-places where all the other tourists are crowding together - get lost in her narrow allyes, and see her true self.

And now for the Indy-approach:

Some of the scenes from "Last Crusade" was shoot around the church of Sct. Barnaba. In the movie its a converted church now holding a libary. This is only in the movie.

There are no libary - there are no sewer to crawl up from, but there are a kind of magic left in the area.

            "X" marks the spot. Here You´ll find the church, and marked with the red dots are the passage that Indy, Marcus and Elsa walks in the movie. As for the arrival, I belive it must be by the Canal Grande. I don´t know exactly where. Maybe round the Accademia. It´s not by the Piazza San Marcus - the Maria-church is right on the other side, and it is not to be seen in the movie.

The square looks rather big in the movie, but it isn´t.  It may not be larger than 30 x 40 meters (  33 x43 Yards ). But it was a true adventure just being there, and I am sure to return to Venice and her grace!
