The Church of Santo Stephano has an interesting history. It was deconsecrated not once but 6 times as the result of violence within its walls. Constructed during the 14th century, it underwent radical alterations during the 15th century. Today, it is an admirable example of Renaissance Gothic. The portal by Bartolomeo Bon is carved with ropework, vegetative growth and vines. On top is the usual Gothic arch as well as side pinnacles.
