The Church of San Cassiano is a church in Venice located in the San Polo area.

The church was named after Saint Cassiano – patron saint of teachers, from Imola. Cassiano was the bishop of Brescia and took   death from his own disciples. Today in the church you can see a painting by the painter Antonio Balestra depicting this event.

The bell tower, erected in the 13th century, adjoins the cathedral. The facade of the church is rather modest, a large-scale reconstruction was carried out in the 19th century.

The temple also contains paintings by Tintoretto – famous painter of the XVI century, such as `` Descent into Purgatory '' raquo;,"Resurrection" and 'Crucifixion'.

The Church of San Cassiano, along with other attractions in Venice, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
