San Pietro di Castello, Renaissance minor basilica in Castello district, Venice, Italy.
The white Istrian stone bell tower and brick walls of San Pietro di Castello rise at the eastern edge of the Venetian lagoon.
From 1451 to 1807, San Pietro di Castello held the status of Venice's cathedral before Saint Mark's Basilica took this designation.
The interior of San Pietro di Castello contains a throne made from a thirteenth-century funeral stone and paintings by Paolo Veronese.
Visitors can reach the basilica by following the signs through narrow streets in the Castello district or taking a water bus.
The church stands on its own island at the eastern end of Venice, featuring a dome designed by architect Andrea Palladio.
