Church of the Friars Minor

Church of the Friars Minor : The Michelin guide review

Immense, the Church of the Friars Minor (Franciscans) has the tallest bell tower in Venice, after Saint Mark, of course. Built entirely with bricks, very sober, this Gothic church imposes itself by its size, and above all, by the works of art it contains: in particular The Assumption, a masterpiece by Titian, which should not make you forget to see a marvelous Triptych by Bellini and the monument to Canova, executed according to the drawings by the sculptor for a monument to Titian.
