The SCUOLA GRANDE and the CHURCH of SAN ROCCO
San Polo, 3052 30125 Venice
T el. +39.041.52.34.864

The Archbrotherhood of St Roch was the richest of the six scuole grandi in 15th-century Venice and was dedicated to French plague protector and dog lover St Roch/(San Rocco), whose body was brought here in 1485.

The architecture is far less impressive than the interior decoration, which was entrusted to Tintoretto in 1564. In the Albergo, filling up the whole of the far wall, is the Crucifixion (1565).
