San Giovanni Elemosinario, Renaissance church in Rialto district, Venice, Italy.
The San Giovanni Elemosinario church features a brick construction with a symmetrical design near the commercial heart of Venice's Rialto Market.
Following the destruction caused by the Rialto fire in 1514, architect Antonio Abbondi rebuilt the church, replacing the original structure from 1071.
The church houses significant Renaissance artworks, including an altarpiece by Titian depicting Saint John the Almsgiver and frescoes by Pordenone in the dome.
Visitors can access the church on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM, with free entry included in the Venice City Pass.
The entrance of this religious building remains hidden behind market stalls, creating an unexpected contrast between the commercial exterior and artistic interior.
