History
The church of Santi Apostoli is rumored to have been founded by the Bishop of Oderzo, St. Magnus, in the 7th century. He was inspired to build the church after seeing twelve cranes on the sight, to which he took as a symbol of the twelve apostles. After a fire, the church was rebuilt in the 12th century, and then again in the 16th century. Most of the church's features were added in an 18th century restoration.
