If you love visiting churches, this one is a must while in Venice. The beautiful vaulted ceilings, high pillars, and gorgeous stained-glass windows are just a few of the things special about this church. A relic of St. Catherine of Siena can be seen here. You quickly can tell this is a Dominican church.

Worth it to admire the outside alone. Small cost to enter the vast gothic church. From a tourist view it's maybe not spectacular. But definatly worth considering
