I have most visited in my stays in Venice because it is a crossroads for every direction, but above all, if I walk by, I go to see it or rather admire it. Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari Venice. 

In this majestic Gothic church, with the bricks and the very tall bell tower, Titian's glories are celebrated for the marble monument: the Pesaro altarpiece and, on the Altar Maggiore, the Assumption. The two Madonnas are very different in light, colors, and structure of the paintings but they are all of the extraordinary beauty. Beyond Tiziano, there is also the beautiful wooden Choir preceded by a very fine marble enclosure, the mausoleum of Canova, medieval and Renaissance tombs in the apse chapel
s, a San Giovanni Battista by Donatello and a beautiful Madonna and Saints by Giovanni Bellini.
