Basilica di San Pietro di Castello
The Basilica of San Pietro di Castello (English: Saint Peter of Castello, after the district where it was located) was the church that housed the seat of Bishop of Venice.
Database Entry
First built in the 7th Century, San Pietro di Castello was the seat of the Bishop of Venice. Notice how far away San Pietro di Castello is from the Palazzo Ducale? That distance is not accidental, the Venetian Doges wanted to remain independent from the church.
Although San Pietro di Castello itself is nothing remarkable, the tower is the first to be cloaked in Istrian stone from the quarries outside Venice, the same white stone that covers the Palazzo Ducale.[1]
Trivia
- One of Subject 16's Glyphs is located here.[1]
- The glyph is on the east side, about halfway up the church, about in the middle and difficult to see in direct sunlight.
