Frari
Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice Overview
The Santa Maria Gloriosa Dei Frari, commonly just called Frari, is a basilica in the San Polo district. The basilica showcases the work of an Italian painter Titian - Assumption of the Virgin and Madonna di Ca’Pesaro. The first one is located on the high altar and the latter on top of a stepped platform.
Other than Titian’s artwork, the Frari also houses some spectacular paintings by the likes of Bellini and Vivarini. You will also find the impressively massive tomb of Antonio Canova, an Italian sculptor built by his students. The church was consecrated in 1492 and is made in Franciscan-Gothic style. In contrast to the colourful painting-filled interior, the church’s exterior is very plain. The Frari has a 70m tall bell tower, the second-largest in Venice and offers a great view.
