Scuola Grande di San Rocco

Built between 1515 and 1560, this impressive white marble building was built to house a charitable society dedicated to San Rocco, a Catholic saint who is popularly regarded as a protector against the Plague. The painting on the central panel for the ceiling of the Sala dell’Albergo, along with several paintings on various other walls and ceilings, are considered to be among the finest works of the great 16th-century Venetian artist Tintoretto. It took him nearly 24 years (from 1564-1588) to complete these paintings. Although it is a two-story building, only three rooms are currently open to the public.
