A Franciscan church, originally built in the mid-13th century but rebuilt in Gothic style in the 15th century. Due to the size and style of this massive church, i Frari is often compared with the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo. This important example of Venetian Gothic ecclesiastical architecture (often referred to simply as the Frari) contains many masterpieces of Venetian Renaissance art, notably Giovanni Bellini's triptych ‘Madonna and Child with Saints’ (1488) and the ‘Assumption’ (1516-18) and "Pesaro Madonna" (1519-26) by Titian, who is buried in the church.
