Church of San Giacomo dall'Orio

Map

www.chorusvenezia.org

Founded in the 9th century, San Giacomo dall'Orio is one of the oldest churches in Venice. Its present form - a Latin Cross with a central nave, two aisles and a transept - is the result of a rebuilding project initiated in 1225 and of subsequent modifications carried out in the 15th and 16th century. The great charm of this church lies in a sombre and archaic exterior enclosing an ingeniously articulated interior, which is dominated by the warm presence of wooden beams and wooden ceiling.

There is a lot of history here. The design of the building indicates its older than other buildings in the area.

Una piccola chiesa nascosta nel cuore di Venezia che custodisce opere "immense" di Palma il Giovane, Veronese e Tiziano. Translate

Situata nel Sestriere di Santa Croce � una delle pi� antiche della citt�. Il suo nome deriverebbe o dalla famiglia Orio o dalla parola luprio che vuol dire palude. Translate
