Chiesa di San Nicolò dei Mendicoli

According to tradition, the church of San Raffaele Arcangelo is one of the eight churches that Saint Magnus, Bishop of Oderzo, had built at the foundation of Venice, dating back to the 7th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the precarious state of the building required a complete new reconstruction, which was completed in 1639 by the architect Francesco Contin, from Lugano. The interior decoration work, in particular the paintings and statues, continued in the 18th century and was completed between 1743 and 1749.

The present church of San Sebastiano was begun in 1505 to a design by Antonio Abbondi, known as Lo Scarpagnino, completed in 1548 and consecrated in 1562. On the site where the church now stands, there was once a hospice founded by the friars of the congregation of San Girolamo around 1393. The new building has a classical façade but a Renaissance interior.

The church of Santa Maria dei Carmini, commonly called "i Carmini", was first built in 1125 with the title of Santa Maria Assunta. Given to the Carmelites, it was completely rebuilt from 1286 with the adjoining monastery. It was consecrated in 1348 and rededicated to St. Mary of Carmel. The brick façade with curved gables was rebuilt in the first decades of the 16th century by Sebastiano Mariani and has five sculptures, probably by Giovanni Buora d'Osteno. The presbytery and the other two apsidal chapels were also rebuilt by Mariani between 1507 and 1514, harmonising the Gothic with the new Renaissance style. The bell tower, which was in danger of collapse, was rebuilt by Giuseppe Sardi in 1688.
