History

The Church of Santa Fosca was built in the 10th century in honor of Saint Fosca whose body lies on the island of Torcello. The façade seen today was constructed during the rebuild in 1741 by Domenico Rossi. Despite these recent renovations, the ceiling collapsed in 1761, and luckily no one was injured. The church then underwent another round of renovations, the most recent of which was completed in 1847.
