Sant'Aponal, Gothic Catholic church in San Polo district, Venice, Italy
The Sant'Aponal church stands near Rialto Bridge, featuring a brick facade with Gothic decorations and a prominent rosette above the main portal.
Founded in the 11th century by Ravenna refugees, the church underwent major reconstruction in 1407 and served different purposes, including a political prison.
The entrance displays stone reliefs depicting The Crucifixion with saints beneath a Gothic arch, while the interior contains works by Palma il Giovane.
The church functions as an archive facility and remains accessible through the narrow streets connecting Campo San Giacomo di Rialto to Rialto Bridge.
The base of the Romanesque bell tower contained the earliest known relief representation of the Lion of Saint Mark in Venice.
