Historic Churches of Venice

Venice's religious landscape spans over a millennium of architectural evolution, from the 7th-century foundations of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta on Torcello to the Baroque facades of Santa Maria Zobenigo. This collection features major landmarks like St Mark’s Basilica, renowned for its Byzantine mosaics, alongside sites containing masterpieces by Titian, Tintoretto, and Sansovino. Highlights include the Gothic Frari church, the Palladian San Giorgio Maggiore, and the Vivaldi-linked Santa Maria della Pietà, reflecting the city’s deep intersection of faith, art, and music.
