The Chiesa della S. Croce degli Armeni, or Santa Croce as it is locally known, was founded in the year 1451 and is an Armenian Catholic church.

History

In the 13th century, this property was given to the Armenian population of Venice by the current Doge's son. A small chapel was built there in the 15th century and then rebuilt in the 17th century. The Armenian population then moved the majority of their services to the monastery on the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni.
