History edit
A church at the site dates from the tenth century. The architect of the present interior is not entirely certain: Pietro Lombardo, Mauro Codussi, and Giovanni Buora are mentioned as possible authors. The facade is attributed to Jacopo Sansovino. It contains an altar by an unknown Lombard artist of the 15th century. The second altar has an altarpiece representing Vision of St Catherine the Martyr, by Vincenzo Catena, and a Transfiguration by Francesco Bissolo.[1]
