View across the Canale San MarcoThe facade is based on two intersecting temples; a tall classical porch, reflecting the nave, is superimposed on a low broad one, reflecting the side-aisle roofs. The facade forecasts Baroque architecture in its use of niches with sculpture and strongly projecting engaged columns. | |
The front and detail of the central classical "temple" element echoing the nave of the three-aisled church. |

The interiorThe rational interior has a sculptural quality, achieved by the use of both engaged columns and pilasters, sometimes coupled. |
