History
The present church was begun in around 1508. The interior with a nave and two aisles is one of the best examples in Venice of late Renaissance architecture.
Church Facade
The facade was added in 1663 by Giuseppe Sardi. Below the left column on the facade there is a cannonball embedded in the base of the column. It derived from a bombardment in 1849 by Austrian forces in the port of Marghera.
Works of Art
Works of art in the church are by Jacopo Sansovino (tomb of Francesco Venier on the south wall); Titian (Annunciation on the south wall and Transfiguration, the altarpiece of the high altar); Francesco Vecellio (paintings on organ doors; frescoes in tomb in floor in front of high altar); Alessandro Vittoria (altar on north wall, with statues of St. Roch and St. Sebastian) and Giulio Angolo del Moro Savior in Monument of Andrea Dolfin.
