Church of San Francesco della Vigna
This is a large Franciscan convent church dating from the 1500s. It was built following the designs of Jacopo Sansovino. It reflects the harmonious proportions of the late Renaissance style.
The elegant, classically lined façade is the work of Andrea Palladio (1564-70).
The interior houses artistic works such as Veronese’s Giustinian altar piece and in a side chapel the Madonna with Child and Saints by Giovanni Bellini. The three internal cloisters are also well worth a visit.
