Overview

Changed

San Zaccaria, just behind the waterfront near St. Mark's Square, holds one of Venice's strangest and most atmospheric spaces: a submerged Romanesque crypt where eight early doges lie buried beneath water that rises and falls with the lagoon's own tides.

    The church itself is free to enter. A small separate fee, around 3 euros, covers the sacristy, the choir stalls, and the flooded crypt -- worth the extra cost for anyone curious about the building's oldest and strangest space. San Zaccaria is a short walk from St. Mark's Square, just behind the waterfront.
