Campo Santa Sofia
Santa Sofia is a church located in the sestiere of Cannaregio in Venice, Italy. It should be distinguished from the palazzo Ca' d'Oro on the Grand Canal is also called the Palazzo Santa Sofia.A wooden church of Sant Sofia in Venice is documented in chronicles from 886 The church dates to initial patronage in the 11th century by the patrician family of the Gussoni. Construction began in 1020. It appears to have survived the great fire of 1105 in Venice. Major reconstruction took place from 1507-1534. The architect of a late-1600s reconstruction was Antonio Gaspari.With the construction of the Strada Nova in Venice in the 1800s, the church's length was diminished. Under Napoleonic rule, the rites in the church were suppressed. The church was converted into a warehouse, and the contents were dispersed. Fontana recounts how in 1836 the church was " redeem from the Israelites into whose hands it had fallen, and cleared of the debris. " In 1836, the church was re-consecrated for Roman Catholic services. Presently, the ground floor of the facade and bell tower of the church are screened behind a screen of buildings.The interior is less decorated than in the past. Originally a Last Supper by Paolo Veronese was located on the door leading to the Sacristy. Across from this canvas was a Birth of the Virgin by Titian. The main chapel had an altarpiece of Christ preaching to the Masses by Francesco da Ponte. Above the door, called that of St Peter, was a Crucifixion by Tintoretto. In the pulpit was a canvas by Domenico Tintoretto, depicting, the Marriage of the Virgin. On the organ covers were paintings of Adoration of the Shepherds attributed to Francesco and Leandro Bassano; these works are now attributed to Palma the Elder and are now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia of Venice. Other works included altarpieces by Gentile da Fabriano, Lionardo Corona, and Baldassare d'Anna. A Madonna and saints was painted by Giovanni Segala. The altarpiece of San Lorenzo Giustiniani was painted by Angelo Trevisani. A Baptism of Christ was painted by Daniele Heinz, brother of Joseph Ens.Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Campo Santa Sofia by using our Venice online trip itinerary planner .

Visto di sfuggita ma abbiamo potuto ammirare un grosso pozzo in marmo bianco con scorcio sul Canal Grande. Lo ricordavo, quindi mi deve aver già colpito. more »
Seen out of sight but we could admire a large white marble well with a glimpse of the Grand Canal. I remembered it, so it must have hit me already.View original -
캄포 산타 소피아 산타 소피아 성당 맞은 편에 있는 조그만 직사각형 꼴 광장 중앙에 우물이 하나 있는 평범한 광장인데,광장 끝에 곤돌라 승강장이 있다. 그래서,곤돌라를 타긴 편한데,그곳이 곤돌라 승선시설로 막혀 있어 운하 구경은 할 수 없다. 곤돌라 이용하실 분께 유용한 곳 more »
Campo Santa Sofia Is a small rectangular square opposite Santa Sofia Cathedral, in the center of a modest square with a well, and at the end of the square there is a gondola platform. So it's easy to get on the gondola, but it's blocked by the gondola's boarding facilities, so you can't see the canals. A great place for gondola sit-insView original
