Church of San Barnaba, Dorsoduro, Venice - featured in Indiana Jones
San Barnaba
Venice, Italy
Used in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
About
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.
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.
Leonardo da Vinci
These days San Barnaba hosts a Leonardo da Vinci exhibition showing his various designs and inventions.
