Internally, the church has a Greek cross plan with domes substained by big columns. But the most amazing fact of this church is that the architectural structure is perfectly hidden by the beauty of the mosaics... |

to create an art gallery. Inside it's possible to admire masterpieces by Mantegna, Diana and Carpaccio. Besides there are many paintings of Flemish school and what remain of the decorations that one time made beautiful the facades of the buildings near the "Canal Grande" (main channel of Venice). |
