Scuola Grande di San Rocco

Campo S. Rocco, Venice, Italy
Tel: +39 0415234864
 

This stunning building was built in the Renaissance, but displays traces of successive interventions up until the baroque period. It is often used as a concert hall, and is next to the San Rocco Church with which it is often mistaken. It is dedicated to Rocco, who cured the sick during the 14th-century plague. The interior decoration of the school was entrusted to Jacopo Tintoretto, whose works, such as the 'Allegories', 'Life and Passion of Christ', and episodes from the Old and New Testaments can be admired. Among the most famous displays are 'The Annuciation', 'The Epiphany', and 'The Flight to Egypt'. Admission is EUR5.
