A Baroque masterpiece near Venice’s Santa Lucia train station, this church is a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed by rushing travelers. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by breathtaking marble interiors, intricate frescoes, and gilded details—a true spectacle of Venetian grandeur. Designed by Baldassare Longhena, it's a stunning example of 17th-century architecture and home to precious artworks, including a ceiling fresco by Tiepolo, partially destroyed during WWII but still remarkable.
