I visited the two churches for the second time. Unfortunately I ran into a very sour museum supervisor. Although the internet is full of photos from the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, we were not allowed to take pictures. This restriction is stupid, because photos can be taken without flash in all the great museums of the world, and the enormous spaces in the church protect the mosaics. But I understood the rules of the game and accepted. The same caretaker, however, closed the church of St. Fosca kicked us out ten minutes earlier. He was in a hurry to get home and he was bored. For him this job is obvious boredom, but for us, who came from thousands of kilometers to enjoy these cultural things and paid entrance tickets, this was an abuse. It's a pity when there is no passion. But beyond that, the two churches and the related museum were worth all the...

I would recommend to the provider to remove Torcello from their islands to visit. I would not recommend visiting this island or church. The man who seemed to be running the church or grounds keeper of Santa Fosca, started shouting at my group for no reason, he literally came at us, attacked us for no reason. Clearly stated he does not like tourists. This is no reason to treat us like he did. Despite relying on tourism, some gratitude and manners is in order. I see in the Santa Fosca reviews the same person has upset other visitors. Why include this island on your tour if the locals don't respect your tourism. This local has now left me giving you a poor review which effects your business. I would recommend looking for a tour of Murano and Burano only. Do not waste your time...

Risale al XI secolo, ha pianta a croce contornata da un portico ottagonale con archi a piede rialzato e capitelli scolpiti. L’interno presenta un'insolito raccordo tra la pianta quadrangolare della base e la pianta circolare della cupola, stile architettonico molto raro. E' il più antico monumento veneto che si sia ispirato al gusto ravennate. Appartiene al raro gruppo di chiese di forma circolare, che ricordano gli antichi templi pagani. L'edificio è intitolato a S. Fosca, vergine e martire, le cui spoglie furono trasportate dall'oasi di Sabratha in Libia fino a qui nel 1011. Fosca, nata da una famiglia pagana di Ravenna, quindicenne volle a tutti i costi farsi cristiana. Lo disse alla nutrice Maura che insieme andarono dal prete Ermolao che le istruì e le battezzò. Il padre Siroi, contrario a questa scelta, denunciò la figlia al prefetto Quinziano, ma la polizia, al momento dell'arresto, arretrò spaventata, dal fatto che la trovarono in compagnia di un angelo. Fosca e Maura, per non fuggire di fronte alla loro nobile scelta, senza paura di annunciarlo al mondo intero, si presentarono spontaneamente a Quinziano, che, senza scrupoli, le fece arrestare, processare e crudelmente torturare, infine decapitandole il 13 febbraio. I loro corpi furono gettati in mare o rapiti da marinai e trasportati in Tripolitania dove ebbero sepoltura nelle grotte presso Sabratha (od. Saqratha). Molti anni più tardi, un cristiano di nome Vitale per divina ispirazione riportò le reliquie in Italia, nell'isola di Torcello, nella laguna veneta, dove venne eretta una chiesa in onore delle due sante. Fosca etimologicamente significa "oscura" e non è un caso se l'interno di questa chiesa è caratterizzato da quest'insieme di giochi tra luci e ombre. L'ambiente è molto scuro, ma l'insieme di finestre poste strategicamente sulle pareti fanno entrare raggi di luce indirizzandoli in punti...

O edifício circular, exemplo do estilo veneziano-bizantino , fica um pouco afastado do que resta da antiga praça da cidade e ao lado da basílica e dos restos do antigo batistério . Uma igreja, já com o nome atual, parece ter existido no local na primeira metade do século IX : foi citada como objeto de benefícios concedidos pelo imperador Ludovico, o Piedoso à basílica de San Zeno em Verona . Por volta do ano 1000, o edifício esteve talvez envolvido na campanha de construção pretendida pelo bispo de Torcellano, Orso Orseolo, para a reconstrução de todo o complexo da catedral . Em 1011 uma nova referência documental relativa à igreja menciona um legado a favor da mesma por duas irmãs, Bona e Fortunata

A beautiful Byzantine style church with brick interiors. Was greeted warmly by a friendly cat! They ask you not to take photos inside here though. I suggest visiting the island as early as possible, as it gets busy after 11am.
