Chioggia Cathedral dates back to the 12th century, after the transfer of the Episcopal see of Malamocco. It was destroyed by fire in 1623. The following year work began on the present cathedral, designed by Baldassare Longhena, who reversed the orientation of the medieval temple and built it with the façade facing the square.
