The cathedral was built of brick, in the Italian Gothic style in the shape of a Latin cross, and is divided into three naves by a colonnade of twelve massive columns. The cathedral is 102 meters long and 32 meters wide.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari can be described in one word - Titian. I saw it with a tour guide. But you can do it yourself, there are many descriptions. And I also love Canova, so I couldn’t walk past the monument with his heart.
