Our History
Overlooking Campo San Zaccaria, the hotel offers its guests a unique view of the ancient Church of San Zaccaria, which dates back to the 9th century and whose current form, designed by Mauro Codussi, dates back to 1400.
Our
background
Hotel San Zaccaria is named after the wonderful Church of San Zaccaria, a gem of Renaissance art in Venice.
Inside the church are held extraordinary art works of great Italian painters such as Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto and Palma il Giovane.
The hotel is located in a historic Venetian palace dating back to 1875, initially created to house the Benedictine nuns of the convent of the San Zaccaria's Church and later suppressed and destined for other uses due to the Napoleonic edicts of 1810.
Codussi, the architect
You can admire the Church of San Zaccaria, and its namesake "campo", from our Codussi Terrace, whose name is our own tribute to the great architect Mauro Codussi.
The architect realized the tripartite facade of the church, considered today one of the most significant examples of Renaissance art in Venice.
The architectural style is inspired by the church of San Giacomo di Sebenico, a UNESCO heritage site, and the Malatesta Temple, better known as the Cathedral of Rimini.
