Church of octagonal plan, a beautiful testimony of Venetian-Byzantine architecture in Torcello.
Connected to the cathedral by a wonderful portico (it is a few meters to the left of the basilica of Santa Maria Assunta), the church of Santa Fosca was built in the 11th and 12th centuries. It has an octagonal plan, in the shape of a Greek cross with a portico supported by Byzantine capitals, and is another beautiful example of Venetian-Byzantine architecture. It has a beautiful portico with raised arches resting on marble columns with sculpted capitals. The extremely sober interior is crowned by a circular wooden drum.

Très mignon. Nous l'avons fait de nuit, il y avait plus un minou on était seul au monde. Par contre, c'était la fête des moustiques surtout en attendant le bateau. Selon la site internet de la compagnie des vaporetto, il devait avoir que des bateaux le soir et finalement il y en avait tout le temps (en été en tout cas)
