Chiesa di San Simeone profeta

San Simeone Profeta stands as a stone religious building with a neoclassical facade and raised interior floor in the Santa Croce district of Venice.

The church originated in 967 through the efforts of three patrician families - Ghisi, Adoldi, and Briosi - and underwent reconstruction in stone after a fire in 1150.

The interior displays notable artworks including The Presentation at the Temple by Jacopo Palma the Younger and The Last Supper by Tintoretto.

The church maintains its position at coordinates 45.44069°N 12.32453°E, near Palazzo Gradenigo and Palazzo Soranzo Cappello in the center of Venice.

The elevated floor level inside the church results from the numerous burials that took place during the devastating plague of 1630.
