Church of Saint Andrew and Medieval Clock Tower, Chioggia
Highlight • Religious Site
Church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo
The Church of Sant'Andrea was reconstructed in the first half of the 18th century on the site of an earlier Romanesque medieval church. Its current façade is in the Baroque style, but it retains the original three-aisled layout.
Inside, one can admire works such as:
- the frescoes of the nave, dome, and central aisle by Giuseppe Cherubini (1912 and 1927);
- the baptismal font, a marble altar formerly attributed to Sansovino but now attributed to the workshop of Lombardo or Lorenzo Bregno (late 15th century), on the left;
- Saint Anne with the Virgin (c. 1770) by Antonio Marinetti;
- Saints Vito, Modesto, Marco, Crescenzia, and Giuliana (1585) by Palma il Giovane;
The Crucifixion (1523), attributed to Palma il Vecchio.
Next to the Church of Sant'Andrea rises the 10th-century Romanesque bell tower. This defensive tower, converted into a bell tower, is also called the Clock Tower because it houses the oldest still-functioning tower clock in the world.

Chioggia Town Hall
Highlight • Historical Site
The current Town Hall is a relatively new building, occupying the site of the former Praetorian Palace.
This medieval structure had a central section with a monumental staircase and two side towers, one of which housed the antique clock, now located in the Sant'Andrea Tower.
A fire in 1817 led to the demolition of the Praetorian Palace and the construction of the new Town Hall, built according to a typical Habsburg layout: an imposing neoclassical building.
The bas-relief on the central tympanum depicts the coat of arms of the city of Chioggia: a rampant lion with a trident and spade at its sides, symbolizing fishing and horticulture, the main economic activities of Chioggia and Sottomarina.
For many years it was used as a prison: On the opposite side of the facade, on the banks of the Vena River, is a gigantic door leading to the prisons.
The portico contains many tombstones of historical figures and events, and the courtyard features a fountainhead from the Filipino Oratory.
On the first floor is the council chamber, which houses three busts of Vittorio Emanuele II, Eleonora Duse, and Giuseppe Veronese, a canvas by Antonio Vassilacchi, and a reproduction of an antique map of Chioggia by Sabbadino.
As a venue for ceremonies, it hosted various artistic performances dedicated to actresses like Eleonora Duse and composers such as Gioseffo Zarlino, born in Chioggia on March 22, 1517.
He was a composer and music theorist from Chioggia who maintained close ties to his city. He is considered a Renaissance genius and combined many disciplines, including mathematics and astronomy.
He was also a fine writer and philosopher; he was fluent in languages: Latin, Hebrew, and Greek, and he wrote the treatise on patience.
His works and talent spread rapidly thanks to the invention of movable type and the manuscript; Zarlino articulated the physical basis of sound.

Porta di Santa Maria
Highlight • Historical Site
This is a city wall that closed off access to the two canals and marked the southern entrance to the city.
The Porta di Santa Maria Assunta (also called Porta Garibaldi) is a former city gate of the Italian city of Chioggia. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
The now freestanding gate was built in 1520, was part of Chioggia's old city fortifications, and has been structurally altered several times throughout its history. On the landward side, a marble relief depicts the Lion of Saint Mark, the heraldic animal of Venice, symbolizing Venetian rule over the city. Until recently, the gate was red, but it is now yellow. Traffic now flows around the gate; inside the gate is a Latin inscription commemorating a visit by Pope Pius VI to Chioggia, as well as a decorative plaque bearing a coat of arms.
