The Chiesa di San Polo is a Catholic church in Venice, dedicated to the Apostle Paul. It gives its name to the San Polo sestiere of the city. The current Gothic church dates from the 15th century, but a church has stood on the site since the 9th century and the beautiful south doorway, possibly by Bartolomeo Bon, survives from this church. The detached campanile was built in 1362. Santa Croce is one of the six sestieri of Venice. It occupies the north west part of the main islands, and can be divided into two areas: the eastern area being largely mediaeval, and the western mostly lying on land only created in the twentieth century.
It is a nice doorway, but the church was locked when I went there :(
