The barefooted Carmelite Friars began to build their convent (later demolished during the first half of the 19th century to make room for the railway station) and their church in 1656, according to the plan by Baldassare Longhena (b. Venice 1598, d. 1682). After his death the plan was carried out by Giuseppe Pozzo, a Carmelite Friars (b. Trento 1645 – d. 1721), who also designed some of the altars and decorations. This church is the most splendid example of the baroque style in Venice. Strong contrasts of the light and shadow, the use of a variety of marbles, the glittering of gold friezes and the vigorous plastic quality of shapes and figures, both painted and sculpted and set in highly dramatic perspective, all combine to achieve a most colourful effect. Everything seems to celebrate the triumph of the artist spirit over dead matter. The Church measures is metres by 25; the facade is 24 metres high.
Our Hotel Abbazia (Abbey) belongs to the evocative monastery complex of the Barefooted Carmelite Friars of Venice. The recent restoration wanted to preserve the charm of the ancient Abbey, where there have been opened 50 rooms, a part of which looking a private inner garden. All the rooms are supplied with bath, air conditioner (in summer) or central heating, direct dialling telephone, TV sat. and mini-bar.
