San Sebastiano, Renaissance church in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy

The San Sebastiano church features a Latin cross layout with a single nave, raised choir, and a cupola above the apsidal presbytery.

Construction of San Sebastiano started in 1506 under architect Antonio Abbondi and continued until 1600, marking a significant period of Renaissance development.

Paolo Veronese dedicated three decades to creating floor-to-ceiling paintings throughout the church, including the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian near the altar.

The church maintains regular visiting hours through the Chorus Association of Venetian churches, with entrance at Campo San Sebastian 1687.

Veronese chose San Sebastiano as his final resting place, with his memorial bust positioned to the right of the organ near his masterpieces.
