Chiesa di Sant'Antonin

The church of San Giovanni in Bragora dates from 829. Legend has it that St. Magnus, bishop of Oderzo, fled his native Opitergium because of the Lombard invasion (639) and that God himself ordered him in a dream to build eight churches, including the church of San Giovanni. However, the first real written record of a church in this area dates back to 1090. In 1464, the church was restructured in the late Gothic style in the form we know today. The work lasted thirty years, from 1475 to 1505, at the end of which it was rededicated, as it is written on the façade, on the architrave of the entrance door, under the lunette.

The Church of San Giorgio dei Greci is the main Orthodox church in Venice. The community of Greeks was formed over time in Venice due to the Ottoman expansion. In 1453, the fall of Constantinople brought thousands of Greek refugees to the city. In June 1526, the Council of Ten authorised the community to build its own Orthodox church: work began in 1530 and was completed in 1571.

The church of the Pietà was built in its present form between 1745 and 1760 to a design by Giorgio Massari (1687-1766). However, the façade remained unfinished until the beginning of the 20th century: it was not until 1906 that the work was completed according to the original project, the only change being the upper ornamentation. The previous building, destroyed by the deterioration of time, was located on the right side of the present church.
