San Cassiano, Catholic church in San Polo, Venice, Italy.
The church features a plain exterior contrasting with its ornate interior, which contains three significant paintings by Tintoretto and elaborate Baroque decorations.
The original structure dates back to 726 as a Benedictine oratory dedicated to Saint Cecilia, with the current building consecrated in 1376.
The Campo San Cassiano, where the church stands, marks the location of the first public opera house established in 1637.
The church opens Tuesday through Saturday mornings, offering visitors access to view its collection of Renaissance art and Baroque architecture.
John Ruskin declared the Crucifixion painting by Tintoretto, created in 1568, as the finest example of this subject in European art.
