Church of San Nicolò dei Mendicoli

Founded in VII Century, St Nicholas of the Mendicants is one of the oldest churches of Venice. The ancient parts consist of the central apse and the capitals of the columns, as well as the basilica-like plan; the portico, one of the recurring features of religious edifices in Venice, was where the poor could beg and penitents could present their prayers. Other objects of interest are the XVI Century organ and many paintings of the School of Veronese.
