Chiesa dell'Ospedaletto, Renaissance church in Castello district, Venice, Italy
The Chiesa dell'Ospedaletto features a Baroque facade with ornate sculptures crafted by Giusto Le Court and robust caryatids supporting the architectural elements.
The church construction started in 1575 beside a hospital from 1528, with architects Andrea Palladio designing the initial structure and Baldassarre Longhena completing the facade.
The interior displays frescoes by Jacopo Guarana and Agostino Mengozzi Colonna, alongside artworks from Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Pietro Liberi.
