The Scuola Grande di San Teodoro is a historic Venetian confraternity founded in the 8th century, originally dedicated to Saint Theodore before being dissolved when Venice adopted Saint Mark as its patron in 828. Visitors can explore the building's architectural evolution, including its 1580 headquarters designed by Simone Sorella and later expanded in the early 17th century with baroque façades by Antonio Sardi and Baldassarre Longhena, featuring sculptures by Bernardo Falconi and bas-reliefs depicting Saint Theodore killing the dragon.
