San Zaccaria is a historic church in Venice, Italy, dedicated to Saint Zakaria. Founded in the 9th century by Dodge Justiniano Participatsio, it houses the saint's body, a gift from Byzantine Emperor Leo V. The church underwent several architectural changes, including a Gothic rebuild in the 15th century. It was originally linked to a Benedictine monastery of nuns from noble families. The church's interior features Gothic windows and is adorned with paintings by renowned artists like Giovanni Bellini. Alessandro Vettorio is buried here, marked by a self-portrait bust.
