Discover the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, one of the most significant sites of Venice's artistic heritage and one of the largest Franciscan churches in Italy. Located in the historic heart of Venice, the basilica is an essential stop for understanding the artistic, religious, and civil history of the Serenissima.
The basilica houses some of the most famous masterpieces of the Venetian Renaissance, including the Assunta and the Pesaro Altarpiece by Titian, the Triptych by Giovanni Bellini and the San Giovanni Battista by Donatello. The tour route also includes monumental funerary monuments, historical altars, sculptural works, the wooden choir, and important examples of the Venetian artistic tradition from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period.
The Basilica also houses the funerary monument of Antonio Canova and the tomb of Titian, confirming its status as one of the most important cultural sites in the city.
The visit takes place in a church that is still officiated and active from a religious point of view. Therefore, appropriate attire and respectful behaviour are required in this sacred place.
The contribution requested for admission directly supports the activities of protection, conservation, and enhancement of the historical and artistic heritage preserved in the Basilica.
