Santa Maria del Giglio

Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio (Zobenigo)

Place of worship

Its Baroque facade by Giuseppe Sardi has no saints at all: it celebrates admiral Antonio Barbaro and his brothers, with six stone relief maps of Candia, Corfu, Padua, Rome, Split and Zadar. Inside the Molin chapel is the only Rubens painting in Venice, a Madonna and Child with the young St John.
