Basilica S. Maria Gloriosa dei Frari embodies Venetian Gothic architecture and houses masterpieces by Titian, such as the famed “Assumption of the Virgin” above the main altar. The church also shelters Titian’s tomb and the monumental mausoleum of sculptor Antonio Canova. Marvel at its soaring nave, intricate choir stalls, and Donatello’s wooden statue of St. John the Baptist. The grandeur underscores the Franciscan roots through a simple exterior concealing a richly ornamented interior. Situated in the San Polo district, it lies off the beaten path yet remains a must-see for art enthusiasts seeking an authentic glimpse of Venice’s religious heritage.
