Sant'Andrea della Zirada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sant'Andrea della Zirada is a church and a monastery in Venice.
The church and the monastery were founded in 1329 by four noblewomen on a place called "cao de zirada", both entitled to St. Andrew the Apostle. The church was largely rebuilt in 1479, the most important part remaining of the original Gothic-style edifice being the façade. Noteworthy is the main portal in Istrian white stone. The interior has a single nave with a plain ceiling, with a Gothic choir with stucco part from the 17th century.
The main artworks are the Dead Christ between St. Charles Borromeo and Angels by Domenico Tintoretto, the St. Augustine with Two Angels by Paris Bordon and a St. Jerome by Paolo Veronese.
