The Church of Santa Maria Glorioso dei Frari, commonly known as Frari’s Church or the Church of the Frari, is a minor basilica dedicated to the Assumption of Mary in Venice, Italy. Don’t let the unassuming façade fool you: The Church of the Frari contains splendors from over 500 years of Venetian history. Inside the church are important works including the Assumption of the Virgin and Pesaro Madonna by Titian, St. John the Baptist by Donatello, the Virgin Mary Enthroned, with Christ Child and Saints triptych by Giovanni Bellini, the altar piece by Titian, and several funerary monuments of note.
