Chiesetta di San Nicolò, Palazzo Ducal

Venice, Veneto Italy

Roman Catholic

The church is in the courtyard of Venice's Palazzo Ducal (the Doge's Palace) on St. Mark's Square. The church was the Doge's private chapel and is located adjacent to the Giant Staircase. The Venetian Renaissance facade was restored in 2009, revealing polychrome marbles and traces of gold plating and lapis lazuli.
