Monuments in Chioggia: Tempietto of Saint Martin

Tempietto of Saint Martin sottomarina

The tempietto (small temple) of Saint Martin is one of the most characteristic and priceless edifices of the city’s artistic heritage.

It is built in the Gothic-Venetian style, with an cupola which has an octagonal shape without and a semicircular shape within.

Its interior is built with exposed painted brick, whilst from its outer walls protrudes an interlaced design of small ogival arches, formed with handmade Roman brick: this interlacing is repeated both in the cornice below the roof as well as in the tiburio, whose round-arched small arches are interrupted and framed by columns with marble capitals which impart elegance and fluidity to the entire edifice.

The windows done in pure Gothic style are tall and narrow and allow only a small amount of light to filter in, as is typical of Gothic constructions.

One of the city’s oldest works of art, a precious polyptych, is preserved within which, according to recent studies, may be attributed to the workshop of Paolo Veneziano.
