Lonely Planet review for Chiesa di Santa Corona

Two blocks east of Contrà Porti is a splendid sidestreet: Contrà di Santa Corona, named after Chiesa di Santa Corona. Built by the Dominicans in 1261 to house a relic from Christ’s crown of thorns, this Romanesque brick church also houses three light-filled masterpieces: Palladio’s 1576 Valmarana Chapel in the crypt, Paolo Veronese’s Adoration of the Magi, much praised by Goethe, and Giovanni Bellini’s radiant Baptism of Christ, where the holy event is witnessed by a trio of Veneto beauties and a curious red bird.
