The Chiesa di S. Giobbe e Barnardino, or San Giobbe as it is locally known, was founded in the year 1378 and is a Catholic church.

History

This Oratory was dedicated to Saint Job in the 14th century. The church was enlarged in the mid-15th century and redesigned in the gothic style. A few features of this design remain intact, such as some windows and exterior plaster work. In 1470, a new architect was called in to finish the work, and his renaissance influence was merged with the existing Gothic design. Both the church and convent were suppressed by Napoleon in 1810 and Venice's Botanical Gardens were built in the convent's place. The church was later reopened.
