San Silvestro, Venice, Religious building in San Polo, Venice, Italy
The San Silvestro church displays neoclassical architectural elements with a brick facade completed in 1909 and a 47-meter high campanile.
Founded in the 9th century, the church underwent multiple reconstructions, including major renovations in 1422 and a complete rebuilding from 1836 to 1843.
The interior houses significant artworks, including Tintoretto's Baptism of Christ from 1580 and Girolamo da Santacroce's Saint Thomas Becket Enthroned from 1520.
Visitors can access the church Monday through Saturday from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM via the San Silvestro vaporetto stop.
The church's flat ceiling features painted designs that create an optical illusion of coffering, adding depth to the interior space.
