It was later named del Carmelo or dei Carmini. Construction seems to have begun in the 1280s, with a much smaller size and height than today.<\/p>\n<p>Alterations and extensions were carried out much later, <strong>just at the end of the 17th century.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Around 1290, the building must have been able to accommodate religious functions, since the granting of a special indulgence by Pope Nicholas IV dates back to that year.<\/p>\n<p>The general pattern was that common to all the churches of the so-called mendicant orders, where poverty and simplicity were to be the hallmarks of devotion. So don't expect to see <strong>important carvings on the outer structure<\/strong>. With simplicity the watchword, it was decided to leave the church's design as soft as possible.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-571 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/carmini.jpg\" alt=\"carmini\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/carmini.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/carmini-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/carmini-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/carmini-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/carmini-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2048px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2048\/1365;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc135311286\"><\/a><strong>What can you see inside the Carmini church?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The remaining elements of this building are <strong>the brick arches of the nave.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The interior has a basilica plan with three naves, Istrian stone columns and inverted basket capitals in the early Gothic style.<\/p>\n<p>From 1507 onwards, major renovation work began, culminating in the construction of the <strong>radically alter the church's original appearance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The three interventions were :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>construction of a new presbytery, featuring three polygonal apses<\/li>\n<li>Enlarging the height of the entire central nave and installing large windows <strong>have made the environment much brighter.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The transformation of the facade from its original Gothic form to that of the Renaissance, characterized at the top by a central semicircular pediment and a quarter-circle crown on the sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc135311287\"><\/a><strong>An extension with apsidal chapels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The apsidal chapels were grafted onto the new transept space, extended by the presbytery in correspondence with the main nave, all in Renaissance style with multi-ordered pillars. <strong>from which the transept's large semicircular arches rise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These construction operations were attributed to Giovanni di Antonio Buora, an architect and sculptor from Lugano.
