The San Barnaba is a quiet oasis tucked away from the bustling crowds in Venice. Its serene facade and towering campanile with a pine-cone shaped spire stand in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere of the square in front of it. A church dedicated to the Apostle Saint Barnabas, this neoclassical structure was built in 1776. It replaced an older church that had been destroyed by fire in 1105. Behind the church is the Casin dei Nobili, a former gambling house filled with laughter and excitement in the 18th century. It now houses art exhibitions. Today, San Barnaba draws crowds not just for its historical significance but also its star turn in the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” It was used as a fictional library with its facade as the setting for some of the film’s most captivating scenes. Step through the door of the San Barnaba and you’ll find yourself transported to a world where history, art and film collide.
