CHURCH OF SAN GIUSEPPE DI CASTELLO (XVI sec.)

San Giuseppe di CastelloBuilt in the sixteenth century, was a convent in the past.
Renaissance architecture is really poor but presents below the central eye a bas-relief representing the Adorazione dei Magi made by the sculptor Giulio Dal Moro.
Plan has just one nave with two lateral chapels. Internally it's possible to admire the choir and the painted ceiling, while in the left hand side takes place the Monumento al Doge Marino
Grimani ed alla sua consorte Morosina Morosini, drew by Scamozzi and made by Campagna. This monument is even composed of bas-reliefs as the Incoronazione del Doge and il Patriarca presenta alla Dogaressa la rosa d'oro.
