Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo

The church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli was built between 1481 and 1489 and is one of the earliest Renaissance buildings constructed in Venice. During the 16th century, interventions were made to the interior. The pilastered façade is divided into two orders, reversed from the classical canons of Vitruvius: the lower order, with Corinthian capitals, is architraved, while the upper order, Ionic, is composed of 5 blind arches. The façade is dominated by a large semi-circular pediment, decorated with a rose window, three oculi and two marble circles.

The church of San Canciano is traditionally considered to have been founded in 864, it was certainly destroyed by fire in 1105, and immediately rebuilt and completely renovated in 1330, and consecrated on 20 May 1351 by the Bishop of Jesolo, Marco Bianco. A further renovation was ordered in the 16th century, creating the present internal structure. At the beginning of the 18th century, the façade was completed according to a project by Antonio Gaspari, thanks to the donation of the parishioner Michele Tommasi, to whom the bust above the entrance door is dedicated.

The church of Santa Maria Formosa was built in 1492 according to the plans of the architect Mauro Codussi. It stands on the site of an ancient church dating back to the 7th century, which, according to tradition, was one of eight founded by San Magno, Bishop of Oderzo. The two facades were commissioned in 1542: one in Baroque style, overlooking the square next to the church, the other in Renaissance style, overlooking the canal.
