Chiesa di San Giacomo di Rialto

Chiesa di San Giacomo di Rialto is said to be the oldest church in Venice, it is notable now for being almost entirely swallowed up by the nearby Rialto market. This church features a beautiful sundial and Gothic portico, and a clock that never tells the correct time! The connection between the church and the market is evident through a Latin inscription that encourages merchants to operate with honesty and fairness.
