San Basso, Baroque former church near St. Mark's Square, Venice, Italy
San Basso features four Corinthian columns on its facade, with two single mullioned windows and a side entrance facing Piazza San Marco.
The church underwent multiple reconstructions after fires in 1105 before architect Baldassarre Longhena completed the current structure in 1661.
Following its deconsecration in 1806 during Napoleon's occupation, the building transitioned from a marble storage space to a concert venue.
The former church now functions as a conference and concert hall, managed by the Ateneo San Basso institution under St. Mark's Procuracy.
The building's square tripartite design incorporates distinctive Corinthian half-columns and two entrances crowned by rectangular windows.
