The Santa Croce district, or sestiere as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the locals say, forms the southwest corner of Venice. The district owes its [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] name to the Chiesa di Santa Croce, Unfortunately this historic edifice on the Grand Canal perhaps dating back to the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] mid-Sixth Century was demolished in 1810. You might want to start your tour at the Ca Rezzonico, also on the Grand Canal. This former palace was built in the mid-Seventeenth Century but neither the architect nor the client lived to see it completed. It is now a public museum, specializing in Eighteenth Century Venice, and is said to be one of the cities most splendid museums.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Quite nearby is the Campo San Barnaba, an attractive square hosting a deconsecrated church of the same name. Even if you haven't been to Venice, you may find this church somewhat familiar. It was used as the library in the 1989 film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It also played a role in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Summertime, a 1955 film in which the leading lady, Katherine Hepburn, fell into a canal in front of the church. At the director's insistence Katherine did the scene herself (in four takes) and caught a rare eye disease, which plagued her for the rest of her life. Make sure to view the church ceiling. Going westward towards the district center you'll find the Fourteenth Century Church [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of Santa Maria dei Carmini, also known as Santa Maria del Carmelo. Don't be put off by its dark interior. The nearby Scuola Grande di San Rocco boasts some sixty paintings by Tintoretto. Don't judge a book by its cover; the particularly lavish Seventeenth Century Church of San Pantalon has an unremarkable facade. Its beautiful canvas ceiling was painted for the church previously occupying this plot. In the north of Santa Croce lies the Seventeenth Century Church of San Nicolo da Tolentino whose special feature [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is the large [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] central cloister. This is Venice's only church with a freestanding Corinthian portico.
The southern end of this district also boasts some fine churches. The mid-Sixteenth Century Church of San Sebastiano is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] one of the great Plague-Churches of Venice, built to temper the divine punishment of the plagues ravaging Europe. It boasts paintings by Tintoretto, Titian, and Veronese. A short walk to the west lies the Chiesa di San Nicolo dei Mendicoli, considered one of Venice's most charming churches. "Mendicoli" means beggars, highlighting the humble nature of the local populace, fishermen and craftsmen. The original church is said to date back to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the Seventh Century, its square bell tower was built in Venetian-Byzantine style at the end of the Twelfth Century.
The Ponte dei Pugni (Bridge of the Fists) is quite close to the Campo San Barnaba, discussed above. The name comes from the local tradition of fist fights [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] between rival neighborhoods, with the goal of throwing the bad guys into the water below. In 1705 a particularly bitter battle went from fists to knives and consequently the fights were banned.
