Lonely Planet review

Although fiddled with over the centuries, this church still preserves elements of the 13th-century original. The portico attached to one side was used to shelter the poor. The whole area was downtrodden and known for its mendicoli , or beggars. The church's tiny square, bound in by the canals and featuring a pylon bearing the winged lion of St Mark, is at the heart of one of the oldest parishes in Venice.
