Take a guided tour of Venice's Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista, one of the oldest of the Venetian scuole (lay brotherhoods that were responsible for much of the city’s Renaissance and Baroque artwork.). Explore the Scuola building, the Church of the same name, and the ancient cemetery.
Inside the monumental complex, admire different artistic and architectural styles and learn the history of this still-active ancient institution. Witness architecture from masters such as Mauro Codussi and his monumental staircase.
The complex is also home to some of Venice's great artistic achievements and a religious relic. Admire works of art by Tintoretto and Tiepolo and learn why a relic of the Holy Cross is housed here.
