Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Dating to the 16th century, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco is one of the most beautiful buildings in Venice. It was constructed from white marble to house a charitable society dedicated to San Rocco, regarded by many as a protector against the plague. It was designed like most other scuole in Venice, with two halls (one on the ground floor and the other above), with a staircase and landing topped by a dome connecting the two.
Photography without flash is generally permitted, but flash itself is not -- Tintoretto's canvases are centuries old and light-sensitive, and the restriction is about preserving them, not limiting visitors.
The Scuola Grande di San Rocco remains an active confraternity, not simply a converted museum, and quiet, unhurried behavior is appreciated in the same way it would be in a still-functioning place of worship.
A visit typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, longer for anyone working through the full painting cycle with the aid of the free floor plan or an audio guide.
