Santa Maria dei Miracoli

The church was built between 1481 and 1489 and unlike all the other churches in the city which have all been overlapped by different styles, the church of Miracoli has been pratically untouched.

Inside, the imposing barrel vault is decorated with wooden coffering and fifty panels depicting “Prophets and Patriarchs”, painted by Pier Maria Pennachi and assistants. The pendentives of the cupola houses statues of the “Four Evangelists”, probably the work of Pietro Lombardo himself – as is the splendid transenna in front of the presbytery.

Between 1988 to 1998 the Save Venice project undertook extensive restoration of the church.
