Sestiere Dorsoduro contains another jewel of Venice and that is the church of San Gregorio. The former church of “San Gregorio” is a deconsecrated church of the IX century, located near the Basilica of “Santa Maria della Salute”, behind the Palazzo Genovese. It was founded in the 9th century and, in later years, it became a Benedictine abbey (In 989 it was handed over to the Benedictines of the Abbey of Sant'Ilario). In the mid-15th century it was rebuilt to the current appearance under design by Antonio da Cremona. In 1775, after a long period of crisis, the monastery was closed and in 1807, after the Napoleonic occupation of Italy, its jurisdiction passed to Santa Maria del Rosario (vulgo Gesuati). While the monastery buildings were used as houses, the church was occupied by a mint workshop for a gold refinery. After restoration in the years 1959-60. It was used as a restoration laboratory of the Supervision of the Artistic and Historical Heritage of Venice. It has not been used for a long time today. It has a Gothic exterior with an ogival portal, elongated with interesting mullioned windows ( a mullion is a vertical element that forms a division between units of a window or screen, or is used decoratively ) with ogival top, and apse. The interior still contains beautiful and interesting frescoes.

Interesting old church from 9th century, now used for different purposes. An wxhibition is a good cause to go but it is not a destination.
