Chiesa di San Moisè (or
San Moisè Profeta) is a
Baroque style,
Roman Catholic church in
Venice.
The church was built initially in the 8th century. It is dedicated to
Moses since like the
Byzantines, the Venetians often considered
Old Testament prophets as
canonized saints. It also honors
Moisè Venier, the aristocrat who funded the reconstruction during the 9th century.
San Moisè is the parish church of one of the parishes in the Vicariate of San Marco-Castello. The other churches within the parish are
Santa Maria Zobenigo,
San Fantin,
Santa Croce degli Armeni and the
Basilica of San Marco itself.
