Des pans de l'histoire de Venise, celui de ses églises me the most passionate. In the dead city, the churches still ring the hour and offices. Remains of another world, they are still functioning. But that ringing? For tourists? for the last fossils of a bygone era? Tireless, despite their proud state sometimes disturbing, they mark the time ridiculous in the city stopped. Some are known to all, clearly, their lace and baroque columns extending into the passageways, the tourist raccolant easy. Others are lost behind a dead end, encased in a block workers. Some
affect their pomp, others by their simplicity, some are dainty, renovated and charge entry, others are dying away, inhabited by an old fool who still dusted the tables once a week with a toilet brush.
But under the lights or away, every church is filled with treasures of Venice as anywhere else. Center of world economic power and arrogant in his time, Venice was made by a renowned art center. She knew the most famous painters Vivarini, family Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Tiepolo for the most known, Bassano, Pordenone, Cima da Conegliano for the forgotten. She also enjoyed great composers as Monteverdi and Vivaldi. So the churches were the ideal platform of Venetian art.
What remains today? Under the millions of tourists each year piétiennent their courts, some have lost their charm, their history, their mystery. it is still difficult to get excited before a picture taken over by barbarians, to pay five euros for a little meditation heckled. Yet certain images float, some monasteries still live well guarded from the sun and the rhythm of the night.

77 churches are listed in this list. There are just over 85 in the lagoon (Venice + islands). Some were closed for restoration, processing, others downright found. Absent a brand directory: the Basilica San Marco, too everything to be rewritten by me.
Two works have accompanied me in every church: Volume Two of Voyage to Italy Hyppolite Taine spent in Venice and Stones of Venice by John Ruskin. These two books with respectively 130 and 150 years old, it is clear that I did not find that there was still registered. Churches had disappeared, had been looted, tables redistributed.
Churches are listed alphabetically here. The asterisk before some of them indicates that they are not in Venice itself but on the islands of the lagoon. While this directory is not very sophisticated, the easiest way to find a particular church is to press [Ctrl + f] and enter the name of the church.
It is only a transcript of my visit, a table, column, sometimes nothing at all. The advantage of this directory frieze zero since it aims at nothing other than list the good and bad surprises encountered during my visits. The exaggerations are set in both the enthusiasm in disgust.
