At this place, the eponymous church is a highlight.
Right next to it is the entrance to Hospital San Giovanni and Paolo. Only the entrance area is worth seeing.

This is the nicest active hospital :)
There is probably also a small museum track :)

A little more secluded, a little away from the hustle and bustle. Very impressive, historic building that is worth a visit. The Basilica of Saints John and Paul (Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo), often referred to as "San Zanipolo", is one of the largest and most important churches in Venice. It is located in the Castello district and is considered one of the most important religious landmarks in the city.

Construction of the basilica began in 1246 and is dedicated to the Dominican Order. It was built on land donated to the order by the Morosini family. Construction was completed in 1430, giving the church its Gothic appearance. From the 15th century onwards, the basilica served as a burial place for the Doges of Venice, which is why it is often referred to as the "Pantheon of Venice".
