The huge church of The Frari- the Brothers- dates from the 15th century, and was founded by the Franciscans. It contains some very important works of art. Firstly, on the high altar, Titian's Assumption, which is quite magnificent. Secondly, a startling statue of John the Baptist by Donatello. Thirdly, a beautiful altarpiece of the Madonna with Saints by Venetian master... more
So much loved this place that it is in the top three of the churches I saw in Italy. It was lovely and I would definitely recommend it. Also agree with the other writer regarding seeing the few main attractions there in Venice then get out and just walk around and see what you come across. Go see St Mary... more

We arrived just shortly before a mass so because we would only be allowed in for a limited period of time, we were... more
The interior of this church is not to be missed, plus if your visit to Venice is on a Sunday this is one of the few churches open, as is the Scuolo next to it. more
My husband and I went on a 9 day Rome/Florence/Venice trip last month. Perhaps it was that this was the last church we visited on our exhausting, unforgettable stay, but the Frari church remains my most unforgettable church. I am not Catholic, but I am a Christian. This church held such a feeling of peace, I could have stayed there... more
