📖

Full description

The Frari in San Polo is a brick Gothic basilica so rich in art that reviewers compare it to a museum. It houses two works by Titian along with his tomb, and its interior feels like several churches in one, with differing decorative styles and tombs and memorials to artists such as Canova.

The choir area is a visitor favourite. Entry costs more than at some other Venetian churches, according to reviewers, but the quality of the art makes it a strong stop for anyone interested in Venetian painting and sculpture.

Reviews

Incredible basilica, that is honestly more like a museum considering how many incredible work of art it has inside. One those places that you need to visit and admire the artwork regardless if you are religious or not. So much beauty concentrated in one place is a rare site, also the tomb of Titian is here as well.
