Santa Fosca, Neoclassical church in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy.

The Santa Fosca church features a symmetrical facade with clean lines, large windows, and classical architectural elements arranged in three vertical sections.

The construction of the current church structure began in 1733 under the direction of architect Domenico Rossi, following the principles of Neoclassical design.

The interior contains notable artworks, including the Trinity and Virgin by Filippo Bianchi and altarpieces depicting the Life of Santa Fosca by Francesco Migliori.

Located adjacent to Strada Nova, the church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours explaining its architectural features and religious significance.

A bronze statue stands in the campo in front of the church marking the location where Paolo Sarpi was attacked by papal mercenaries.
