The church is a magnificent example of Venetian Gothic architecture, with a simple but imposing façade and an interior that houses numerous works of art of great value. Among the most notable are the Assumption of the Virgin and the Pala Pesaro, both by Titian. In addition, the carved wooden choir and the bell tower, which is the second highest in Venice, are notable architectural elements.

This is an impressive church built in brick, very common in Venetian buildings, and which contains art in every corner, whether paintings or sculptures. It has been considered a minor basilica since 1926, and is one of the largest temples in the city.
It was built by Franciscan friars between the 13th and 14th centuries, although it was initially smaller than the one we see today.
