San Moisè, Roman Catholic church in San Marco, Venice, Italy
San Moisè displays an ornate Baroque facade adorned with sculptures and carved details from 1668. Built in brick, its interior holds artworks by renowned artists and features a layout typical of Venetian parish churches.
The original building dates to the 8th century under the name San Vittore Martire. It was reconstructed in 947 by merchant Moise Venier and took his name thereafter.
The church carries the name of merchant Moise Venier, who commissioned its reconstruction in the 10th century. Visitors today encounter his memory preserved in the square's name.
The church sits on Campo San Moisè near the Rialto Bridge. You can walk through both the exterior and interior spaces, though visitor access depends on scheduled opening times.
The Scottish financier John Law, who founded the Mississippi Company, is buried here. He died in Venice in 1729 and found his final resting place within these walls.
