Chiesa di San Felice

16th-century Greek-cross church in Venice's Cannaregio, housing the relics of Saint Felix of Nola.

San Felice is a parish church in Venice's Cannaregio district, located right on the Strada Nova. The current building dates from the 16th century and is laid out as a Greek cross with an ornamental dome over the crossing. The church houses the relics of Saint Felix of Nola. Its modest entrance along a busy thoroughfare makes it easy to miss – but those who step inside find a quiet, well-proportioned interior that exemplifies 16th-century Venetian church architecture.
