San Giacomo, Minor basilica and parish church in Chioggia, Italy.
San Giacomo is a church in Chioggia with a rectangular layout, multiple altars positioned along the walls, and soaring ceilings. Inside, it holds religious artworks and frescoes that frame the interior space.
The present church arose after the collapse of the original structure in 1741 and was rebuilt starting in 1742. It replaced a temple from the 11th century that had long occupied this location.
The northern wall displays painted tablets called 'tolèle' showing ships and storms at sea. These works recall local stories of people who experienced help while on the water.
Visitors can enter the church during regular opening hours and view the interior furnishings. It helps to check local hours in advance, as these can vary by season.
A large fresco depicts the story of Saint James and was created collaboratively by several artists. This artwork is among the notable artistic works that give the church its visual power.
