San Giacomo, Minor basilica and parish church in Chioggia, Italy.
The Basilica of San Giacomo features a rectangular interior measuring 25 meters wide, 35 meters long, and 25 meters high with multiple altars around its perimeter.
The current church structure replaced an 11th-century temple, beginning construction in 1742 after the collapse of the original apse between November 24-25, 1741.
The northern wall displays painted tablets called 'tolèle', representing maritime scenes and shipwrecks connected to local stories of divine intervention.
The basilica maintains regular visiting hours from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM, allowing visitors to explore its architectural features.
A large fresco spanning 223 square meters depicts the martyrdom and glorification of Saint James, created by Alessandro and Romualdo Mauri with Antonio Marinetti.
