The church is famous for be rounded and for the light of the day that floods all the church through the vitreaux.-

This wonderful church is so well situated that anyone who has seen pictures of Venice will recognise it - but perhaps not so many have visited. It's conveniently located at one of the first vaporetto stops on line 1 after you leave St.Mark's Square though and well worth getting off at for a closer look. It is reportedly built on... More

Lots of walking.

work being done inside so not as much to see, better outside and in fact better from Accademia bridge with it as a backdrop for photos
