The Basilica di San Pietro di Castello in Venice is an impressive, historic building located off the beaten track on the island of the same name, Castello. This church, which was once the main cathedral in Venice, combines Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance elements in its architecture. The marble-clad bell tower is particularly striking and is the only church in Venice with such a tower.
Inside the church, visitors are greeted by a collection of artworks and historical treasures. Particularly worth seeing are the main altar made of multicoloured marble, in which the urn containing the ashes of the first patriarch of Venice, St. Lorenzo Giustiniani, is kept, as well as the masterpiece ‘Damnation of the Serpents’ by Pietro Liberi.
The Basilica di San Pietro di Castello remains an important spiritual place in Venice and offers a quiet alternative to the city's busier attractions. With the Venice City Pass, visitors can enjoy free entry to this historic site while experiencing Venice's rich religious and cultural history up close.
