Later, we went to Dosoduro area of Venice and saw the Basilica of the Frari. It was started by the Franciscan Order of the Minor Friars in 1330. The church was completed in 1443. It contains the only work of Donatello in Venice - a wooden statue of John the Baptist. It also contains major works by Titian and G. Bellini. The work of the Cozzi family, wood carvers of Vicenza, the choir has 124 stalls and some of the most beautiful woodcarving in Venice.
