Angelo San Raffaele, Baroque church in Dorsoduro district, Venice, Italy

The Angelo San Raffaele church features a Greek cross layout with a facade facing a narrow canal and contains paintings depicting the Life of Tobias.

Built between 1618 and 1639 by Francesco Contino, this church replaced earlier structures that were destroyed by fires in 889, 1106, and 1149.

The interior houses artworks by notable Venetian artists, including Francesco Fontebasso's ceiling frescoes and Giovanni Antonio Guardi's organ door paintings.

Located near the San Basilio water bus stop, the church stands as one of only two religious buildings in Venice that visitors can walk completely around.

The church interior receives natural light through orange net curtains, creating distinct lighting effects throughout the internal space.
