Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari

Venice’s second-most important church (after Basilica San Marco) is Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. Titian’s magnificent Assumption is the crowd-pleaser, but don’t miss works by Donatello and Belllini and the crypt of composer Monteverdi. The church is located in San Polo, close to the Scuolo di San Rocco.
