San Martino, Venice, Renaissance church near Arsenale, Venice, Italy.
San Martino is a Renaissance church located in the Castello district of Venice near the Arsenale. Its interior is organized in three aisles with Corinthian capitals and round arches throughout, forming the core structure of the space.
The church was founded in the 10th century and underwent major reconstruction between 1546 and 1610 based on designs by architect Jacopo Sansovino. This rebuilding process shaped the structure as it exists today.
The ceiling displays a fresco of Saint Martin in Glory created by Jacopo Guarana, and the walls feature images of saints and evangelists painted by Matteo Zais. These artworks shape the visual character of the interior space.
The church is located in the Castello district and serves as a military chapel with regular opening hours for visitors. It is helpful to check current visiting times in advance, as these may vary seasonally.
The church houses a 15th-century altar created by sculptor Tullio Lombardo that originally came from the church of Santo Sepolcro. This piece testifies to how religious artworks moved and were repurposed across Venice over time.
