Chiesa di San Francesco di Paola

16th-century church on Via Garibaldi in eastern Castello, Venice, dedicated to Saint Francis of Paola.

The Church of San Francesco di Paola is located on Via Garibaldi in Venice's eastern Castello district. The site's history stretches back to the 13th century, when a hospice was established here.

Situated on Via Garibaldi – a lively but non-touristy street – it is a place frequented mainly by locals.
