San Giacomo di Rialto is a major church in Venice and also believed to be the oldest.

History

The first church was believed to have been built about 421 and the present building was built around 1071. After being hit by fires in Rialto 1531 and 1601, the church was renovated and was partially converted into a Baroque styled church.

Noticeable interior:

  • A statue of James, son of Alphaeus sculptured by Alessandro Vittoria
  • A bronze statue of Antonius Eremita von Girolamo Campagna

The fifteenth century facade is famous for its tweny-four hour clock and during the Renaissance, merchants who worked in nearby markets would go to there to pray.

The church is still actively visited, and is still opened daily from 9 a.m. - 12 a.m. and 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.
