Santa Fosca, Romanesque church in Torcello, Italy.
The Santa Fosca church displays a Greek cross layout with rounded arches and stone construction that characterizes the Italian Romanesque architectural tradition.
Built before the 9th century, the church underwent substantial modifications during the 11th and 12th centuries, incorporating Romanesque elements into its structure.
The church stands next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, forming a religious complex that represents the early Christian presence in the Venetian lagoon.
Visitors can reach Santa Fosca by taking a vaporetto to Torcello island from Venice, with the church opening hours aligning with standard tourist visiting times.
The architectural plans drawn by Richard Phené Spiers in 1905 provide detailed documentation of the church's structural elements and spatial organization.
