Santa Chiara, Renaissance church in Santa Croce, Venice, Italy
The Santa Chiara church stands with a brick facade and Gothic conical spire, rising 33 meters above the Venetian neighborhood of Santa Croce.
The church, completed in the early 16th century, underwent construction and marble decoration under Tullio Lombardo's supervision between 1500 and 1505.
Originally designed as a three-nave basilica with eleven altars dedicated to different saints, the church contained numerous religious artworks reflecting local devotion.
Following extensive renovations between 1961 and 1965, the church building removed 19th-century additions to restore its original Renaissance character.
After its deconsecration in 1805 during Napoleon's rule, the building served multiple functions, including a stable, tobacco warehouse, and part of a prison complex.
