In the square, you find a church built by Jacopo Sansovino in 1534 and is one the most beautiful of its kind in Venice. Constructed for the Francescan monks, it was completed in 1554. It was then entrusted to Andrea Palladio ten years later. It isnow possible to admire the altar painting by Dolfin and the Holy Conversation by Giovanni Bellini.
Legend has it, is that the evangelist Marco found refuge there, blessed by an angel with words Pax tibi Marce Evangelista meus, which became the motto of the Serenissma.
