Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Venice

The Santa Maria dei Miracoli church displays polychrome marble surfaces across its entire facade and features circular windows along its exterior walls.

Pietro Lombardo directed the construction of this religious building from 1481 to 1489, transforming a small chapel into a grand marble structure.

The interior contains fifty painted coffers on the ceiling depicting prophets, created by artists Vincenzo dalle Destre and Lattanzio da Rimini.

The church requires an entrance fee, offering reduced prices for students and groups while maintaining regular visiting hours throughout the week.

All four sides of the building remain visible to observers, including the unusual feature of a facade that faces directly onto a canal.
