Carved columns and frescoes at a basilica entrance

Stroll the facade like a museum courtyard. Each column is a biography in stone.

Spots to Search

  • North and south portals: animal and vegetal motifs.
  • Gallery stairs: worn steps and hand-polished rails.
  • Loggia: capitals with storytelling borders.

Bring a small notebook; sketching helps you see.

Bottom Line

Venice rewards curiosity — look small, not just grand.
