Is Scuola Grande di San Rocco worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Scuola Grande di San Rocco still earns its price.

~€10

Often called 'Venice's Sistine Chapel', this is two storeys of dramatic Tintoretto canvases conceived as a single overwhelming program, with mirrors provided so you can study the ceilings without breaking your neck — and it's reliably uncrowded. The catch: it's one artist, one register of intense religious drama; visitors not moved by Tintoretto can find it heavy and repetitive.
