Parking in Scuola Grande di San Rocco

Culture, art and holiness

Although it was founded by members of the laity, the deep worship of San Rocco led the brothers to build their own church in 1489, dedicated to San Rocco, and consecrated in 1508. It is the only Scuola Grande that has remained substantially unchanged in its structure and interior since the times when Venice was a great maritime republic. The Scuola has two large overlapping rooms, the Sala Terrena, which consists of three aisles and can be accessed from the outside, and the Sala Capitolare, which is accessed from the first aisle going up a staircase that has a single aisle. Most of the works that can be admired inside are by Tintoretto, who in 1564 was asked to decorate the entire school. Among the jewels of this collection are the Visitation, the Circumcision, the Flight into Egypt, the Crucifixion and the Ascension. You can also admire the Christ Carrying the Cross, attributed to Giorgione or Titian. If you are an art lover, then a visit to this Scuola Grande is a must during your time in Venice. Book your parking near the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with Parclick now, it's simple and convenient!
