A Basilica born from a dream
THE PANTHEON OF THE SERENISSIMA
The 14th-century Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, otherwise called San Zanipoło in Venetian dialect, it is located in Sestiere Castello and stands as one of the most impressive medieval and religious building in Venice.
Several doges and famous characters, who wrote crucial pages over the history of the Serenissima Republic from the XIII to the XVIII century, have been given burial here, under those solemn and monumental sepulchres which rewarded the Basilica with the name of Pantheon of Venice.
