Photo: San Moise Church Venice Italy
The elaborate San Moise Church in the city of Venice, Veneto in Italy, Europe.
The San Moise church in Venice, Italy is one of the parish churches in the Vicariate of San Marco-Castello. One of the other churches in the same parish happens to be the Basilica di San Marco. The San Moise church, in Venice, is also known as the Chiesa di San Moise or San Moise Profeta.
Centuries ago the Venetians tended to dedicate their churches to the people of the Old Testament, and the San Moise church is no exception as Moses is the chosen prophet. The outstanding altarpiece created by Heinrich Meyring depicts Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai.
The extravagant Baroque facade is the work of Alessandro Tremignon who was asked by the Fini family to show the family mercantile history in the intricate designs.
