This is a beautiful church and well worth the time to visit to see the marble panelling inside and the ornate roof decoration. Not as big or imposing as some of the others but in that lies its beauty.

When you enter this church, the first words out of your mouth are "Oh My God!". I heard it more than once. As soon as you enter you are taken by surprise. The interior of the church is covered in white and green marble. The altar is covered by gold and green marble. There is a gorgeous pulpit between the 2nd and 3rd chapels with "draping" marble, sculptures of the Archangels by Giuseppe Torretti attached to the columns in front of the altar area, and one of Titian's last paintings, The Martyrdom of St. Laurentius. The Baroque church is utterly breathtaking. It's open from 10-12 and 4-6 daily and costs 1 euro. You can see the white facade and statues of the church from the water when you are on a lagoon vaporetto (4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2) near Fondamenta Nove. Located in Campo Gesuiti,(Cannaregio), it's easily approached from Fondamenta Nova.

Saint Mark's is beautiful and gets all the tourists, but Venezia has so many beautiful churches located in the campos. This one is located in Campo Santi Apostoli. It was located across the street from the Airbnb we rented. It was lovely to hear the church bells ringing. This is one of the oldest churches in the city and it's worth it to stop in and spend a few minutes in the beautiful church.
