San Pietro Martire, Renaissance church in Murano, Italy

San Pietro Martire features a triple-nave structure with large columns, wooden ceiling, and a brick facade divided into three sections with a rose window.

Built in 1348 as a Dominican monastery dedicated to St John the Baptist, the church burned down in 1474 and underwent reconstruction until 1511.

The interior houses notable Renaissance paintings, including works by Tintoretto, Giovanni Bellini, and Paolo Veronese, relocated from other Murano churches.

Located along Fondamenta dei Vetrai, the church remains open for visitors who can examine both religious services and art exhibitions throughout the year.

The Ballarin Chapel, constructed in 1506, stands as a memorial to a Murano glassmaker, connecting the church to the island's glass-making traditions.
