San Bartolomeo, Catholic church near Rialto Bridge, Venice, Italy.

The San Bartolomeo church features a single nave design with a dome at the intersection of the transept and contains paintings by Sante Peranda.

Founded in 840 and initially dedicated to Saint Demetrios, the church received a new dedication to Saint Bartholomew in 1170 under Doge Domenico Selvo.

The church acted as a gathering place for the German Catholic community in Venice, maintaining a school with Marian-themed artwork near the Fondaco.

The church stands adjacent to the Rialto Bridge, surrounded by buildings on all sides, with the entrance accessible through Campo San Bartolomeo.

The church houses an eighteenth-century high altar created by Bernardino Maccaruzzi and contains sculptures by Enrico Merengo in the interior spaces.
