Parish of Sant'Andrea Apostolo, Chioggia

The Church of Sant'Andrea was reconstructed in the first half of the 18th century on the site of an earlier Romanesque medieval church. Its current façade is in the Baroque style, but it retains the original three-aisled layout.

Inside, one can admire works such as:

- the frescoes of the nave, dome, and central aisle by Giuseppe Cherubini (1912 and 1927);

- the baptismal font, a marble altar formerly attributed to Sansovino but now attributed to the workshop of Lombardo or Lorenzo Bregno (late 15th century), on the left;

- Saint Anne with the Virgin (c. 1770) by Antonio Marinetti;

- Saints Vito, Modesto, Marco, Crescenzia, and Giuliana (1585) by Palma il Giovane;

- The Crucifixion (1523), attributed to Palma il Vecchio.

Next to the Church of Sant'Andrea rises the 10th-century Romanesque bell tower. This defensive tower, converted into a bell tower, is also known as the Clock Tower, as it houses the oldest still-functioning tower clock in the world.

The Church of Saint Andrew the Apostle (Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo) is the oldest religious building in Chioggia. Its bell tower (Torre dell'Orologio - Campanile di Sant'Andrea) is a medieval watchtower dating from the mid-10th century, housing the oldest functioning clock in the world. The church is located on Corso del Popolo. The earliest traces of this building date back to the 10th century, and it was constructed in the Byzantine style with a Latin cross plan. A row of columns divides the church into three naves. From the outside, the church impresses with its beautiful Baroque façade and the impressive Campanile di Sant'Andrea.
