The construction works on the church were completed in 1548; the façade was also finished in that same year. It was clad in Istrian stone, which imparts to it a classical and sober appearance. During the 11th century, Venice featured predominantly wooden constructions, but following the annexation of southern Istria (between 1267 and 1335), stone imports began: the material swiftly became one of the most widely used for the construction and decoration of the city’s buildings.
In 1555, the abbot of the adjacent convent commissioned the interior decoration from the painter Paolo Caliari, known as Paolo Veronese, who worked there until 1565.
The church finally entered into liturgical function only in 1562.
