The Church
A church at the site was built in the ninth century, but destroyed by fire in 1105. Rebuilt in 1350, it was reconstructed in its present form in 1776 by Lorenzo Boschetti under the patronage of the Grimani family.
To the left of the church was the entrance to the Casin dei Nobili (Casino of the Aristocracy), which was an active gambling house in the 18th century. The church is now deconsecrated and used for exhibitions.
Indiana Jones in Venice
The 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade featured scenes shot in the Campo San Barnaba, using the facade of the church to depict a fictional library.
