Santa Croce degli Armeni

Santa Croce degli Armeni features ornamental details across its exterior walls and displays traditional baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.

The development of the church began in 1434 with a simple altar and chapel, later expanding into a complete church building in 1688.

The church maintains strong ties to Armenian heritage through monthly masses conducted by priests who travel from San Lazzaro degli Armeni monastery.

The church opens its doors for religious services on the last Sunday of each month at 10:30 AM, welcoming both worshippers and visitors.

Located near St Mark's Basilica, this church emerged from a former hospice for Armenian merchants established by Venetian doge Marco Zianni.
