San Simeone Profeta (or Grande)

This corner of Venice boasts two churches dedicated to St Simeon: this one, also known as the 'Grande' is smaller than San Simeone Piccolo, as the latter was rebuilt in the 18th century. But the names have stuck. San Simeone Grande, last rebuilt in the early 1700s by Domenico Margutti, has a simple Greek temple attributed to Giorgio Massari.

Famous paintings in this bright and cosy church include The Presentation in the Temple with Donors by Palma Giovane over the altar and a badly restored Last Supper by Tintoretto near the door, a typically unusual composition, with the table set at an angle to the viewer.
