San Simeone Piccolo, Neoclassical church on Grand Canal, Venice, Italy.
The church features a prominent copper-covered dome measuring 20 meters in diameter, supported by substantial Corinthian columns at its entrance.
The original structure dates from 850, but the current building was reconstructed in 1718 under architect Giovanni Antonio Scalfarotto's direction.
The marble relief on the triangular tympanum illustrates the martyrdom of titular saints, created by sculptor Francesco Cabianca.
The church stands directly opposite Venice's Santa Lucia train station, making it the first landmark visitors see when arriving by rail.
Below the main floor, an octagonal crypt contains twenty-one chapels with frescoes depicting scenes from both testaments.
