Scuola dei Carmini in Venice was the last scuola to become grande
Scuola Grande dei Carmini was founded at the end of XVI century by friars of the Carmelite order, just beside the homonym church and convent.
It has been the last of Venetian scuole to be granted the status of Grande by the government.
Open for visits and even a venue for concerts, Scuola dei Carmini is particularly appreciated for the paintings by Tiepolo at the first floor, which represent Saint Mary of the Mount Carmel and several of the symbols of Carmelite order.
Scuola Grande dei Carmini is located in Dorsoduro district, at the end of campo Santa Margherita. Water bus stop: Ca' Rezzonico.
