Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo is one of the largest fields in Venice, located in the Castello district, on the border with that of Cannaregio. At the center of the field, on a base of polychrome marble, there is the equestrian monument dedicated to Bartolomeo Colleoni by Verrocchio. The imposing church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo (also called San Zanipolo in Venetian dialect) closes the corner with the Scuola Grande di San Marco which also develops along the foundations of the adjacent Mendicanti stream. Next to the church there is the main entrance and, therefore, the facade of the city hospital.
In a corner outside the side apse of the basilica, the old level of the field is still visible, covered with terracotta, and well below the current paving. Every year the field is also the place of departure and of the award ceremony of the regatta of SS. Giovanni and Paolo.
