St. Stephen’s church

We had a rainy day today and so we took the opportunity to have a quiet one. This church is close to our hotel and so it was easy to visit it between the showers.

Santo Stefano is built in the Italian Gothic style. It was founded in the 13th century, rebuilt in the 14th century and altered again early in the 15th century, when the fine gothic doorway and ship's keel roof were added. The tall interior is also Gothic in style and has three apses.

The extra is Ca’ Rezzonico, the wonderful art museum on the Grand Canal.
