CHURCH OF SAN MAURIZIO - Sestiere of San Marco, X sec. -

San Maurizio's church changed its aspect many times during centuries. It was first built to create the initial group of Venetian church, then rebuilt in the sixteenth century and finally demolished at the beginning of the last but one century, leaving place to the actual building. Architecture of this church is tipically neo-classical having Latin cross plan with a dome in the center and some smaller outlying. Facade is embellished with statues and bas-reliefs, instead internally there're paintings as Campo San Maurizio (Saint Maurizio's square), kept in the sacresty (ask gently to the priest!).
