Santa Croce, Secularized church in Venice, Italy
Santa Croce occupies the northwestern section of Venice, divided between a medieval eastern area and a modern western zone with the main port.
The church underwent significant modifications in 1225, funded by the Badoer and Da Mula families, followed by reconstruction after an earthquake in 1345.
The interior contains a Latin cross plan with granite columns separating the nave from side aisles, including a verde antico column from Byzantium.
The district includes Piazzale Roma, the central bus station connecting Venice Marco Polo Airport and Treviso Airport to the city center.
Santa Croce represents the only district in Venice where automobiles can circulate, specifically around the Piazzale Roma area.
