Why go

The former Venetian ducal church now hosts municipal art exhibitions, giving the building a continuing public role. Its long interior and stone arches are worth looking at in their own right. Moving between gallery use and church architecture makes this a different experience from a room built solely to show art.

What to look for

  • Stone arches span the long interior.
  • The former church holds municipal art exhibitions.

Useful to know

  • Check the current exhibition before relying on an indoor visit; the exterior is always visible.
