San Paternian church, Romanesque church in San Marco, Venice

The San Paternian church featured a distinct octagonal bell tower and incorporated eight marble columns transported from Constantinople in its construction.

Following its construction in wood during the 10th century, the church burned down in 976 and underwent reconstruction in stone between 1005 and 1168.

The church contained seven altars and maintained religious records that were later transferred to the San Luca Evangelista church after its closure.

The church site transformed into Campo Manin after its demolition in 1871, becoming a public square in the San Marco district of Venice.

The bell tower, built before the year 1000, stood as the first campanile in Venice and remained the only octagonal one throughout the city's history.
