San Francesco della Vigna, Renaissance church in Castello, Venice, Italy.
The church interior follows a Latin cross layout with a single nave, five deep chapels on each side, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling without a dome.
Doge Andrea Gritti initiated the reconstruction in 1534, with Jacopo Sansovino designing the structure and Andrea Palladio completing the white stone facade by 1570.
The Grimani Chapel contains ceiling paintings by Battista Franco and murals by Federico Zuccari, representing the artistic contributions of Venetian noble families.
The church remains accessible to visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with entry from the Celestia vaporetto stop.
The building stands on a former vineyard where tradition states Saint Mark received an angelic message during a storm on his return from Aquileia.
