Known among locals as I Frari, the 14th-century Gothic church is one of Venice’s largest and its brick bell tower is one of the city’s tallest. The church’s main altarpiece, Assumption of the Virgin by Tiziano (Titian – detail above) along with Giovanni Bellini’s Triptych of the Madonna and Saints, are among the church’s finest works
of art.
Canova’s monumental tomb is here and Tiziano and a few doges are buried here. Don’t miss Donatello’s wooden statue of St. John the Baptist (left), the rood screen and the frescoes above the main doorway. The church is frequently the site of concerts.
