Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli

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 Basilica of Saints John and Paul, known as San Zanipolo, a Venetian contraction of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, is one of the most imposing medieval religious buildings in Venice. It is considered the Pantheon of Venice because of the large number of doges and other important people who were buried there from the 13th century onwards. According to legend, the origins of the basilica are linked to a vision of the doge Jacopo Tiepolo who, after dreaming of a flight of doves over a marshy area, donated it in 1234 to the Dominicans, who had been present in the city for more than ten years. The church was immediately built. The work was completed in 1343, but the embellishment work lasted almost a century longer: on 14 November 1430, the church was solemnly consecrated.

The date of construction of the Santi Apostoli dei Cristo is unknown but it is known that the building was completely rebuilt in 1021. It was almost completely rebuilt in 1105 after a fire that caused its complete ruin. In the 15th century, the architect Mauro Codussi added to the existing structure a portico on the side façade, the sacristy and the chapel of the Corner noble family. In 1575, the church was almost completely rebuilt: the load-bearing walls were reused and some of the 14th-century frescoes were preserved, as well as the Corner chapel. The architect Alessandro Vittoria was commissioned to carry out the work. The bell tower dates from 1672 but was completed by Andrea Tirali in the 18th century.
