Poveglia – a photo gallery from the island

Poveglia is one of the more photogenic islands in the Venetian Lagoon

I’ve been visiting the island of Poveglia for years, and have lots of photos from there.

Here’s a gallery of some of the photographs.

You can read more about the fascinating history of the island in a previous blog post: Poveglia – more than ghost stories.
