Campo San Stin
Campo San Stin is a campo located in the San Polo sestiere of Venice, Italy. Italian artist Bernardo Bellotto created a painting of the square. The square is less visited by tourists.
History
The square is named after a demolished church dedicated to Saint Stephen the Confessor, referred to as San Stefanino to distinguish it from the larger church of Saint Stephen, and corrupted to San Stin. The first known reference to the church was recorded in Andrea Dandolo's chronicle, stating that the church was almost completely consumed by fire in 1105.It was subsequently restored in the second half of the 13th century by Giorgio Zancani, a venetian noble from Crete.
The church contained a painting by Tintoretto of the Assumption of the Virgin which is now located in the Gallerie dell'Accademia.
The church finally closed in 1810 during the Napoleonic suppression of Italy and the territory of the parish was incorporated into the parish of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and was demolished shortly afterwards, though the remains of the bell tower remain.
The Farmacia Ai Due San Marchi was originally located in the square, before relocating in 1908.
