The basilica is designed in the Italian Gothic style and built in the 1430s. This is the main Dominican church in Venice and is dedicated to John and Paul, not biblical apostles with the same name...

If you love visiting churches, this one is a must while in Venice. The beautiful vaulted ceilings, high pillars, and gorgeous stained-glass windows are just a few of the things special about this church. A relic of St. Catherine of Siena can be seen here. You quickly can tell this is a Dominican church.

Worth it to admire the outside alone. Small cost to enter the vast gothic church. From a tourist view it's maybe not spectacular. But definatly worth considering
