in the apse of the church. On 27 May 1492, the church was consecrated with the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa. The Frari is a parish church of the Vicariate of San Polo-Santa Croce-Dorsoduro. Other churches of the parish are San Barnaba, San Ludovico Vescovo, Santa Maria del Soccorso, and Santa Margherita.
