Chiesa di San Samuele

The church of San Vidal was founded in 1084 during the reign of Doge Vitale Falier (1084-1095/96). A new reconstruction of the church took place at the end of the 17th century with the intention of transforming the façade into a great monument to Francesco Morosini, doge from 1688 to 1694. The project was entrusted to Antonio Gaspari, who presented a series of designs freely inspired by the Roman church of Sant'Andrea al Quirinale. Finally, the heirs of Morosini abandoned the project and, following a change of patron, the new church was built by Andrea Tirali. The church is now closed to worship.

The church of Santo Stefano was built between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century by the hermit friars of Saint Augustine, who had settled in Venice towards the end of the 13th century. It was rebuilt in the 14th century and underwent major extensions in the 15th century. In 1810, with the suppression of the religious orders, it was separated from the convent and became a parish church.

The church of San Tomà or San Tommaso was erected in 917, renovated at the end of the 14th century, enlarged in 1508 and embellished with a marble façade in the second half of the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the church was in danger of collapsing; work on the foundations began in 1742. The last restoration was completed in 1803. In 1837 it was given to the conventual fathers who moved to a small convent nearby, where they remained until 1867.
