Campo San Giovanni Grisostomo, Venice

Rebuilt by Mauro Codussi over an earlier structure, the church has a simple Renaissance façade crowned with a distinctive semi-circular pediment. Codussi followed the Byzantine centrally planned layout of the earlier church and developed it into a simple, geometrical form typical of both classical and renaissance structure.
