The Chiesa di S. Eustachio, or San Stae as it is locally known, was founded in the year 966 and is a Catholic church.

History

This church was founded in the 10th century and named in dedication of Saint Eustace, although the name has now been shortened by locals to San Stae. The original church was knocked down in the 17th century and the current church was built in its place, turning the church so the façade now faces the Grand Canal. The façade was completed in the early 18th century by no less than seven sculptors. The church was recently restored by the Swiss Pro-Venezia Committee.
