Basilica dei Frari
This great gothic Franciscan church was constructed in the 14th
century, and is primarily known as the burial place of Titian and
the Venetian sculptor Antonio Canova. Titian's tomb in the south
aisle watches over large marble pyramid created for Canova. The
interior of the church is adorned with the works of famous artists.
These include Donatello's St John the Baptist, Giovanni Bellini's
triptych of the Madonna and Saints, Titian's famous Assumption of
the Virgin and his Madonna of Case Pesaro.

widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.

casas de cambios.
