Church of San Polo

www.chorusvenezia.org

Founded in the 9th century, the Church of San Polo then underwent two important restructuring projects which altered the original Byzantine appearance of the building (the two column-bearing lions at the base of the nearby bell-tower were probably part of this original structure). The first major work on the church took place in the 15th century, and the late Gothic additions made at that time include the fine portal attributed to Bartolomeo Bon. The second refurbishment took place in 1804, when Davide Rossi effectively turned the church into a neo-classical building. Extensive restoration has recently revealed the Gothic survivors within this neo-classical super-structure: these include the wooden ceiling, the apsed presbytery and the single light windows on the facade (part of the 9th-century church).

During summer, if you're walking the city, this is the best spot to rest on a bench under the tree and watch people.

Da il nome al Sestiere che lo ospita ed è il più grande di Venezia. Anticamente vi si svolgevano le feste del carnevale, i mercati, le corse. Nel 1548 vi venne assassinato Lorenzino de' Medici. Translate
