Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari

ChurchVeniceAbout 50 minutes

A huge brick Gothic church in San Polo holding Titian's Assumption above the high altar — painted for this building, still in it, and worth the crossing on its own. Also Titian's tomb, and a Bellini triptych in the sacristy. Calm, and a useful anchor for a walk away from San Marco.
