On the opposite side of the promenade is the Cathedral (Duomo) from the 17th century with many elements of earlier church that were there since the 11th century. Built by the famous architect Baldassare Longhena. The cathedral is dedicated to the saints of Chioggia patrons, Felice e Fortunato. The cathedral is beautiful in its simplicity and leaves a rich impression of monumentality. The altars were made by great Venezian masters Jacopo Palma il Giovane and Francesco Rosa. Next to the church is the bell tower, in the Romanesque style, the Tempietto (small temple), in which it is the oldest art work in the city, polyptych by famous painting Paolo Veneziano. Beautiful.
