Visited this place at midday - forgetting that everything closes between 12-3. The staff however let us roam around.
The church itself is stunning with loads of paintings and statues. The ceilings are very ornate and a spectacular sight. The architecture is Italian gothic. The windows to the east and west represent the birth and death of Jesus. They are beautiful to look at.
A male member of staff called Attilio (not sure if that's spelt right) who spoke some English approached me and started to talk me through some of the paintings and layout. He was a lovely man and tried very hard to converse with me as best he could so I could understand him. He then offered to show us to the monastery at the rear of the building to see all the paintings of Dominican monks, one of which is the first ever painting of someone with glasses. Some paintings were missing as they were being restored but the ones we did see were beautiful and a real treat to see. I noted that Attilio had taken the time to show us and talk to us after hours and in his own time. Such a kind thing to do. He enquired about us and our names and we discussed old fashioned names, one of which my daughters has. He was such a wonderfully polite man.
I would recommend visiting this place. It really is breathtaking and full of interesting history. If your lucky, Attilio will be there when you visit to add that extra something special.

The interior of this Church contains a fairly large number of ancient frescoes including a gigantic on of a saint with a smallish head and enormous feet.
The place is closed at lunch so watch out for the proper time to get in.

I began by walking through the old gate (across the street from the train station), and followed the water into the pedestrian area. On my right I saw the spire of the church. When I got to a bridge where I could cross over I backtracked, and found the church. It was open. There was no one requiring an entrance fee (but, there are places for tourists to deposit their gifts). I was able to look, take photos (no flash), and pray in the Blessed Sacrament chapel. I didn't want to leave, but there was so much more of the city for me to see. I would recommend setting aside at least 1 hour to see this extraordinary church.

The church is not in the city center, but it worth walking to get there. Unusually big church for not so big city. Brick made, and in a very good condition. Big organ is still in use, and frescoes are interesting, especially huge one of S. Cristoforo. It was rainy (showering) outside and we stay longer. We were helped by church. He was very kind to show us the monastery biehind the Chiesa, where we saw unique old fresco where Dominican monk wore "glasses". It is the first depiction of eye glasses in history.
It is worth to visit this Chiesa, you will not regret.

Treviso is such a beautiful city and this church is a must. A huge twelfth century building with areas behind it which are currently undergoing restoration. I was especially impressed by the frescoes on the pillars - and by the way that 18th century builders just removed some of the wall frescoes half way down to construct the door to the sacristy.Well worth a visi

This 14th-century Dominican church is really beautiful. Its walls are adorned with frescoes by various 14th-century artists, including works from G. Savoldo, L. Lotto, G. Buora, J. Lauro, L. Bregno, and F. Bassano among others.
The pipe organ was built by G. Callido in 1779.
The church’s cloister, which is home to the chapter house of the Dominicans and bears frescoes by Tomaso da Modena, is also very beautiful.

The church and cloister are from the 1400s. Wonderful frescos that are well light from the clear windows. A visit also gets you to walk through more of the town.
