Scuola Grande di San Marco, Renaissance guildhall at Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Italy.
The white marble facade of Scuola Grande di San Marco features intricate decorations, niches, pilasters, and trompe-l'œil archways reflecting Renaissance classicism.
Following destruction by fire in 1485, architects Pietro Lombardo, Giovanni Buora, and Mauro Codussi led a twenty-year reconstruction project funded by confraternity members.
The building contains the Sala Capitolare with its coats of arms, an altar by Sansovino, and an altarpiece by Palma Giovane displaying Venetian craftsmanship.
Currently functioning as Venice Public Hospital entrance, the structure houses a Museum of Surgical Instruments documenting medical advances since 1190.
Members of this confraternity included explorers Ambrogio Contarini, Giosafat Barbaro, and Alvise da Mosto who documented their international travels.
