San Samuele, Romanesque church in San Marco district, Venice, Italy.
The church features a Venetian-Byzantine bell tower from the 12th century and retains its original architectural elements with rounded arches and sturdy columns.
Founded in 1001 by the Boldù and Soranzo families, San Samuele underwent reconstruction after two fires in the 12th century and major renovations in 1685.
The interior displays a 14th-century crucifix by Paolo Veneziano on the main altar and late 15th-century frescoes decorating the apse walls.
Located at Campo San Samuele with direct access to the Grand Canal, the church opens Monday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The church contains what is believed to be a hand relic of Saint Valentine, commemorated by an altar painting commissioned to Giorgio Stochamer in 1677.
