Chiesa di Santa Maria Mater Domini

The church of San Stae is first mentioned in the 12th century, but some people date its origin to the 9th or 10th century. At the end of the 17th century, the church, although restored several times, fell into disrepair and in 1681 the procurators of the sacristy had to take the decision to rebuild it. The legacy of the doge Alvise II Mocenigo (1700-1709), who died in 1709 and is buried in the church, is linked to this decision. He left 20,000 ducats for the construction of the façade.

The church of Santa Maria Maddalena, usually called La Maddalena, was built between 1763 and 1790 on an old medieval church. The new neoclassical church was built on a circular plan, according to the design of Tommaso Temanza. The work was completed in 1790 under the direction of Giannantonio Selva. In 1888 the bell tower, which was already unsafe, was pulled down.

The church of San Paolo apostolo vulgo San Polo was probably built in 837, by order of Doge Pietro Tradonico (838 - 864). It underwent a first renovation between the 14th and 15th centuries and the Gothic elements date from this period, in particular the pointed-arch side portal, the nave's ogives and the rose windows on the façade. Towards the end of the 16th century, the building underwent further renovations and, at about the same time, the entrance portico was closed and transformed into the Oratory of the Crucifix, thus concealing the façade. From 1804 until its re-consecration in 1839, the church underwent major interventions designed by David Rossi in the neoclassical style.
