Church of Saints John and Paul in Venice: photos, reviews

About

It is believed that San Zanipolo (Santi Giovanni e Paolo) is the most magnificent church in Venice, erected in the finest traditions of Gothic style. The building is striking in the austerity of its architecture and grandiose proportions. The interior of the church is plunged into semi-darkness. Here, the groin vaults appear to be tightened by wooden beams resting on stone columns. Paintings from the city's history adorn the walls, along which the tombs of doges are situated. In total, the remains of 25 distinguished citizens rest in the church, for which Venetians often refer to it as the Pantheon. San Zanipolo resembles a museum more: painted ceilings, ancient stained glass, intricately carved tombs, and bronze statues. The canvases in the chapels, belonging to the brushes of Giovanni Bellini and Lorenzo Lotto, also deserve attention.

Находится собор чуть поодаль от привычных туристических маршрутов. Тем не менее, я бы советовала обязательно осмотреть его. Снаружи собор не очень привлекателен, если сравнивать с другими церквями Венеции. Зато внутри он значительно краше. Здесь можно увидеть различные скульптуры, барельефы и картины. Особенно меня очаровало полотно «Святой Антоний» Лоренцо Лотта.

Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo (San Zanipolo) este una dintre cele mai impunătoare biserici din Veneția, remarcabilă prin dimensiunile sale și stilul gotic sobru. Fațada din cărămidă roșcată este dominată de un portal din marmură albă, o rozetă centrală și detalii arhitecturale verticale care accentuează monumentalitatea clădirii. Situată într-o piață largă, lângă un canal, și vegheată de statuia ecvestră a lui Bartolomeo Colleoni, biserica emană solemnitate și istorie. Exteriorul său simplu, dar grandios, reflectă spiritul Veneției medievale și adăpostește mormintele a numeroși dogi, fiind un simbol al puterii și memoriei Republicii Venețiene.

Eine riesige und sehr gepflegte alte Basilika, es ist kaum was los, oder es verläuft sich schnell. Als Schüler zahlt man nur sehr wenig (1,50€!!) Der Preis ist absolut gerechtfertigt um einen Moment ehrliche Ruhe genossen zu können. Die Mitarbeiter sind unglaublich lieb. (Liebe Grüße an Sam, wenn du das liest;)
