San Giacomo di Rialto, Romanesque church near Rialto Market, Venice, Italy.
San Giacomo di Rialto stands next to the Rialto Bridge, featuring a Gothic portico and a central dome supported by six ancient Greek marble columns.
The church, first documented in 1152, underwent reconstruction in 1071 during the establishment of the Rialto market, attracting bankers and merchants.
The external apse displays inscriptions encouraging merchants to maintain honest measurements and loyal contracts during market activities at Rialto.
The church floor was elevated in 1513 to prevent flooding from high tides, as the Rialto area sits at one of Venice's lowest elevations.
The building features an unusual clock design with a single hand and rotated quadrant, positioning noon on the left side and midnight on the right.
