Church of San Simeone Piccolo Venice
This large church has a plain façade reminiscent of the Parthenon in Rome. In fact, the Parthenon was one of the models. Giovanni Antonio Scarfarotto (1700-1764) was hired to build the Church of San Simeone Piccolo in 1718. He was following the 18th century Neo-classical or Palladian tradition. The pronaus or front portico illustrates this. It features balance of structure and Corinthian columns. On the other hand, there is a Byzantine influence. You can see this in the peaked metal dome. This dome is highly visible from many hotels in Venice close to the Church of San Simeone Piccolo.
