这是位于城市的中心部、规模很大的歌特建筑教堂，从前面的广场看到的正面很有威压感。里面主祭坛装饰着提香的杰作，也有名人们的墓，值得一看。

Venice has so many places to visit and they are all so great. However, there are always things that are better than others. Initially I visited this church for one reason only – to see the Monument dedicated to Antonio Canova. However, it turned out to be one of my highlights in Venice. The interior is striking for its sheer size and for the quality of its works of art. Titian’s spectacular masterpiece “Assumption of the Virgin” is so powerful that I wanted to stay as long as possible. I could not take my eyes off it. For Canova it was the most beautiful painting in the world. The sparkling of colour is remarkable. There is another Titian’s masterpiece here: “Madonna of Ca’Pesaro”. Due to the perspective, the splendour of colour and the power of expression in the figures depicted, this painting is known as a “miracle of painting”. There are more gems here: Giovanni Bellini’s “Madonna with the child”, dramatic sculptures such as the “Deposition” by Francesco Penso and some superb example of wooden art in Venice. The Monument dedicated to Canova itself is very touching. It was erected by the disciples based on the design prepared by Canova in the end of 18th century for Titian. As the guide book that I bought from the church shop says, the design was not used and was adapted for the monument dedicated to Maria Cristina of Austria which can be found in the church of the Agostiniani in Vienna. The same model was used for this monument which was erected in 1827. With the beautiful sculptures of women, lion and angels the monument is very moving. Above the door there are two angels who bear the effigy of the sculptor surrounded by a snake, symbol of immortality. It is said that Canova’s heart was interred in this marble pyramid while his remains were deposited in the temple at Possagno, the village where the great sculptor was born. Many churches in Venice charge of 3 Euro for entrance and this church is no exception.

Tucked away in the center of San Polo neighborhood, I Frari was an unexpected delight on my last day in Venice. Taking about 40 minutes to reach by foot from my hotel, the walk here was part of the experience as the quieter neighborhoods on either side of the Rialto mouse-trap (see separate review) provided a pleasant break from the crowds and trinket sellers. Admission was three Euros with an audio guide an extra five if middle-age memory serves correct.A fairly plain exterior leads into a cavernous, echoing interior. I’m not an true aficionado of architecture or churches, but the first thing I realized was the difference in my mood once I entered the structure proper. As a first-time visitor, I was immediately drawn to the altar and Titian’s “Assumption of the Virgin.” After spending ten minutes admiring the work I followed the fifteen-stop audio guide around the church taking in the wooden choir stalls, St. John’s chapel, a moving pieta in one of the side rooms, Canova’s mausoleum, and a monument to Titian himself. There’s even a mechanical (modern) Nativity scene to the left of the entry which adds a whimsical touch to the experience; yeah it sounds a bit contrived but it’s actually worth a quick look. After spending about an hour on site I purchased the requisite mementoes and departed.After a spending a week in the city and visiting almost a dozen churches, I still enjoyed my time here. The location is isolated enough to limit the number of visitors but not so hidden that it’s difficult to find. The interior is more accessible than St. Mark’s Bascilica and the audio guide was a perfect match for those of us who are interested but not obsessed with church interiors. There are also enough features here (such as the wooden choir stalls) in addition to the altarpiece that are plainly works of art worth seeing. Simply put, if you’re going to visit one church while in Venice make sure it’s St. Mark’s; if you want to add a second make a journey here. Thumbs up.

Titian's very dark and disappointing for us - we went to the eucharist and enjoyed it, with an ethusiastic choir a far cry from a UK Cathedral choir. Lots of kids running about, they don't seem to have a Sunday School!

Frari is one of the most important churches in venice and is located in san polo are. One of the reasons it is popular is for the Titian Painting, Assumption which adorns the main altar and apart from that there so many other work of art around here like that of Bellini and Donatello and Lombardo. The church is beautiful and with so much inspiring art inside it is a must visit cathedrals in Venice.

Only steps from San Rocco, this is well worth a stop if only to see Titian's Assumption. Much like the rest of Venice, this is no different. Absolutely beautiful.

Big and stunning church. You have to pay to get in but it is well worth it! This is one of the most important churches in Venice also because here there is the Assumption by Tiziano painter!

You simply can not go wrong with this beautiful church in the San Polo district of Venice. As you walk through this church the lines between one magnificent work of art and the next begin to blur into one incredible place to see what the human species is capable of creating. Near to the piazza margarita a great place to get some lunch a glass of wine and make it a day.

What a place to visit, you can get lost in that place just looking at all the monuments and other art works. The most notable for me were the sculptor Antonio Canova pyramid tomb (simple yet very haunting) and the tomb of the Doge Giovanni Pesaro. His tomb is as fascinating as it is offensive, the four black men holding up the Doge was something I was not expecting (nor even part of the man's history, a short lived Doge who fled a battle) but I urge you to see this and make your own mind up. The whole experience is more than worth the door entry price, it houses work by Titan and Donatello!

We went and it was free admission to get in, so that was a bonus. The architecture is breathtaking , artwork is awe inspiring, and overall just a beautiful piece of venetian history. There are also prayer alters for offerings so it was very quiet and humbling, we enjoyed it a lot.
