Oratorio dei Crociferi

Place of worshipLocals' pick

A tiny 12th-century hospital oratory opposite the Gesuiti whose walls are covered by 19 canvases by Palma il Giovane (1583-92), telling the story of the Crociferi order and of the two doges who paid for it. The complex is still a hospice, as it has been since the Middle Ages.
