The Church of San Giorgio Maggiore

San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on the island of the same name in Venice, northern Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio, and built between 1566 and 1610. The church is a basilica in the classical Renaissance style and its brilliant white marble gleams above the blue water of the lagoon opposite the-- wait, this is just from Wikipedia. Is this just straight up an actual church in Venice?? Well, yes. For more mundane details, feel free to check the actual Wiki page, but as far as relevant info goes...

Aside from the public interior, you can also visit the bell tower using the elevator as well as explore the corresponding elevator shaft (why would you do that??), and you can descend the stairs into the dark, foreboding basement. It... really is just a regular (okay, a beautiful) church, though it's bound to seem fantastical to anybody who doesn't know what Catholicism is.

Since this is a Fourth Wall, any Pokémon are fair game, but there is an abundance of Banette in the elevator shaft for some reason, and in the basement lurk... any non-legendary Pokémon who learn Future Sight via level-up??? Odd. Also the odd Honchkrow, which has GOT to be lost. What's a bird doing down in the basement?!
