The Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is the second largest church in the city and a significant example of Gothic architecture. Established in 1250, the structure is a National Monument and minor basilica that represents eight centuries of history, art, and faith.

The interior contains a rich collection of art, featuring masterpieces by artists such as Titian, Giovanni Bellini, Donatello, and Alessandro Vittoria. The church is also known for its vast array of historical monuments and architectural treasures.

The basilica serves as the final resting place for several distinguished figures, including the painter Titian, Antonio Canova, Claudio Monteverdi, and several Doges, who were the chief magistrates of the former Republic of Venice. The site is open to the public and hosts high-level sacred music concerts.
