San Zaccaria
San Zaccaria (English: Saint Zechariah) is a major church located in the Castello District of Venice. The Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze visited the church during the late 15th century.
History[]
First built in the 9th century, San Zaccaria is dedicated to the father of St. John the Baptist, Zechariah, who is supposedly buried there. The church burned down in 1105, killing more than a 100 nuns. It was later rebuilt around 1170 and then later redone with a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance styles.[1]
