The Church of San Zaccaria is a 15th-century former monastic church in central Venice, Italy. It is a large edifice, located in the Campo San Zaccaria, just off the waterfront to the southeast of Piazza San Marco and St Mark's Basilica. It is dedicated to St. Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist.
The first church on the site was founded by Doge Giustiniano Participazio in the early 9th century to house the body of the saint to which it is dedicated, a gift of the Byzantine Emperor Leo V the Armenian, which it contains under the second altar on the right. The remains of various doges are buried in the crypt of the church. The original church was rebuilt in the 1170s (when the present campanile was built) and was replaced by a Gothic church in the 15th century. The remains of this building still stand, as the present church was built beside and not over it.

Wonderful church with a moving and meaningful Mass on Sunday mornings. A real spiritual high- ig you visit the church go to mass as that was what the place was built for...it is so much more than a tourist attraction.

A great chance to see how one visual culture is being replaced by another one. And how rude local guides bring entire tourist groups in during the service.

Excellent monument of medieval culture and architecture with small but excellent museum. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.

Interesting and beautiful church. This is not the main goal of tourists but you must visit it. Beautiful exterior and interior. Bellini paintings inside.

This is a beautiful church. The paintings are magnificent and the crypt is very cool. The opening times are minimal so be sure to check. But definitely worth visiting.
