Description
Built in the middle of the 13th century, this church was extended and grew until the 16th century. The church houses paintings by Tiziano, such as 'l'Assunta' and 'La Madonna di ca' Pesaro'. In the side chapel, you'll find Bellini's 'Madonna in Trono'. It also contains the tombs of Tiziano, Canova, Monteverdi, and Francesco Foscari. In spite of it's many historical and artistic treasures, the church's large dimensions make it seem empty. Service is held daily at 9a, 10:30a, noon, and 6:30p. On sunday, mass is held at 6:30p.
