★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This lovely church is located on this beautiful sweet little square of San Tomà. It stands opposite the Scoletta dei Calegheri. The church is named after San Tommaso Apostolo (Saint Thomas the Apostle). As well as many other churches in Venice, even this one is an imposing mixture of various architectonic styles. The facade is beautiful and decorated with statues. The Baroque architecture layout we see today was completed in 1652 by Giuseppe Sardi, using a design originally by Baldassare Longhena, with a classical façade by Francesco Bognolo in 1742-55. High on an outside wall, is the sarcophagus of Giovanni Priuli, a 14th-century war hero and senator. He lies with his feet resting on a small dog. The sculpture of the Madonna della Misericordia, Our Lady of Mercy, is located on the left side of the exterior of the church, facing Campiello San Tomà. The central figure in the relief is the Virgin Mary from the 15th century, who protects the faithful under her sheltering cloak. Two angels crown her as the Queen of Heaven. In a city not unobsessed by holy relics, this church is said to have once had 10,000 saintly bits and a dozen intact holy corpses. It was a parish church until 1810 and taken over by Franciscan friars from 1835-1867. Few of the movable interior decorations remain. Among other things frescoed on the walls of the nave still extant is a depiction of the Martyrdom of St Thomas by Jacopo Guarana and an altarpiece of the Incredulity of St Thomas by Antonio Zanchi remains.
