San Simeon Piccolo (technically named SS. Simeone e Giuda) is actually rather unimportant as far as Venice churches go, but it is most people's first view of Venice—and, if you've a long wait for your train, the thing you end up staring at longest—so it begs to be identified.
Closed for what seems like decades (most of us, actually, had long assumed it to be deconsecrated and boarded up permanently), it has recently had some restoration work done on the striking green (oxidized) copper dome and has reopened to the public.
It now holds the quirky status of being the only church in Venice to celebrate Mass in Latin daily (Mon–Sat at 8am the old-school, 1962 Roman Missal Tridentine Mass is said; they switch to echoing Gregorian chant Sun at 11am).

Planning your day: Honestly, there's no reason to visit this church. I just identify it for you since everybody who arrive in Venice by train sees it and invariably wonders what it is. Venice itineraries
