★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This beautiful church San Giovanni in Bragora is located in the sestiere of Castello. The origin of the term Bragora is unclear. It could derive from the Greek agorà (square), referring to the campo facing the church, or from the dialect bragora ("market") or bragolare ("fishing"). It could also be from the word brago, meaning mud, on account of the former swampy state of islands of Venice. The church was founded in the early 8th century, allegedly by St. Magnus of Oderzo. In the following century, under doge Pietro III Candiano, it was rebuilt to house the alleged relics of St. John the Baptist, to which the church is entitled. The interestingness and significance of this church is that they Pietro Barbo, future Pope Paul II, and Antonio Vivaldi ( in 1678 ) were baptised in the church. It is thought his family lived close to the church at the time. The current appearance dates from the last renovation (1475-1505), which kept the basilica plan but added a brickwork façade in local late-Gothic style, and a façade divided into three sections. The interior is beautiful and richly decorated with works by master Cima da Conegliano (Baptism of Christ, 1492 and St. Helena and Constantine at the Cross, 1501-1503), Alvise Vivarini (Cristo benedicente, Madonna col Bambino, Cristo risorto) and a beautiful work by master Bartolomeo Vivarini (Madonna col Bambino e Santi). The church has been enriched over the centuries with Capella (Chapels) - The chapel of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows, The chapel of San Giovanni Elemosinario, The apse chapels and The chapels of the left aisle.
