Venice - Sant'Eustachio

(Local Name: San Staè) The church, which was built in 1678 by Giovanni Grassi, is in the shape of a Greek cross. The facade on the Grand Canal was added thirty years later in 1709 by the master-builder Domenico Rossi. The funds came from Alvise Mocenigo II who was Doge from 1700-1709, and who is buried in the church.

The interior is decorated with early 18th century works, including G. B. Piazetta's "The Martyrdom of St James the Great", Sebastiano Ricci's "The Freeing of St Peter", "The Torment of St Bartholomew" by G.B. Tiepolo and "The Crucifixion of St Andrew" by G.A. Pellegrini.
