Church of San Clemente, Renaissance church on San Clemente island, Venice, Italy.
The Church of San Clemente displays Renaissance architectural elements with a facade divided by lesenes and cornices in Lombard style.
In 1131, merchant Pietro Gattilesso funded the construction of a church and hospice for pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.
The church houses relics of Saint Anianus, the first successor of Saint Mark as patriarch of Alexandria, brought there in 1288.
Visitors need to take a water taxi or boat to reach the San Clemente island where the church stands.
