Another church, which must see while being in Venice, is the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, commonly called the Friari. Located in Calle del Magazzen. Basilica is one of the largest and finest Gothic sacred buildings in Venice.
In fact, it is a powerful and extremely massive monastery complex, which belongs to the Franciscan order. Was built in the thirteenth century, but was rebuilt first in the fourteenth century, and then in the fifteenth century. Interestingly, there is no unnecessary decoration, anyway, structure of the church also is maintained in a simple character. This is directly related to the strict rules of the Franciscans.
Inside the church you can admire the monument of Pesar, although much bigger admiration arouses Assumption picture, located in the center of the altar. Its creator was Titian, whose tomb is also in the interior of the temple. An interesting fact is that the tomb was built only three centuries after death of the painter.
In addition to these works in the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari are located such works as the Madonna Pesaro Family by Titian, Bellini’s Madonna and Child and Madonna by Paolo Veneziano.
