Chiesa di San Zaccaria, situated in central Venice close to St. Mark's Square, is a stunning Renaissance church dedicated to Zechariah, father of John the Baptist. Established in the 12th century, the present building, designed by Antonio Gambello, was finalized around 1490. Guests can explore an interior rich with artworks by famous painters like Tintoretto and Giovanni Bellini. The church boasts an impressive façade and contains a crypt thought to hold the remains of several early doges of Venice. It is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with free admission, although donations are welcomed. Accessibility is ensured for visitors with reduced mobility.
