San Barnaba, Venice, Former church in Dorsoduro district, Venice, Italy

The San Barnaba church exhibits neoclassical design with a prominent facade and a separate bell tower topped by a pine-cone shaped spire.

The original structure from the ninth century was destroyed by fire in 1105, leading to reconstruction in 1350 and final renovation by Lorenzo Boschetti in 1776.

This deconsecrated church now functions as an exhibition space, contributing to the artistic landscape of the Dorsoduro neighborhood.

The building stands at coordinates 45.433056 latitude and 12.32525 longitude, near several cafes and traditional mask workshops in Campo San Barnaba.

The church facade served as the exterior of a fictional library in the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
