Lonely Planet review

When you walk in here, look up at possibly the finest timber ceiling ( a carena di nave - like an upturned ship's hull) of any church in Venice. It is one of several examples in Venice and, for anyone who has tramped around the great churches of Spain, starkly reminiscent of that nation's Muslim-influenced artesonado ceilings (coffered, timber ceilings).

Then head for the small museum to the right of the altar, where a collection of Tintoretto's paintings has been crammed. Among the most notable are the Ultima Cena (Last Supper), Lavanda dei Piedi (Washing of the Feet) and Orazione nell'Orto (Agony in the Garden).
