[2] This had a "Ravenna" style basilical layout, with a long nave and two aisles, with a semi-circular apse at the east end.
[4] The task of rebuilding the cathedral was given to the architect Baldassare Longhena, who provided a design that blended Corinthian and Ionic styles.
Between 1627 and 1671 the inside of the cathedral was completed with the construction of the altar and installation of many sculptures, some of considerable artistic value.
The exterior has marble statues of the martyr saints Felice and Fortunato, patrons of the city and diocese of Chioggia.
The back wall of the north aisle has a painting by the Venetian artist Alvise Tagliapietra from 1708 that depicts the baptism of Jesus.
[1] Alessandro Tremignon designed the high altar with engraved scenes of the life of the Virgin Mary and the two patron saints.
To the right of the altar are more recent statues of the martyrs Felice and Fortunato in aluminum by the sculptor Luigi Tomaz (1980).
