San Tomà (San Toma) is a church which is located in the sestiere of San Polo in Venice, Italy. It stands opposite the Scoletta dei Calegheri. The church is named after ''San Tommaso Apostolo'' (Saint Thomas the Apostle). A church on the site dates back to the tenth century, the present orientation was set in 1395, and the exterior and much of the interior decorations are due to reconstructions in the 16th and 17th centuries. For example, The Baroque architecture layout we see today was completed in 1652 by Giuseppe Sardi, using a design originally by Baldassare Longhena. The church was reinforced and the facade decorated with two statues in 1742 by Francesco Bognolo. Presently, the church is used for practice of Roman Catholic, Neocatechumenal Way services and functions. Few of the movable interior decorations remain. The main altar once had statues of Saints Thomas and Peter (1616) sculpted in marbel by Girolamo Campagna. It once had two altarpieces by Palma Vecchio: a ''Madonna and Child with St Francis and John the Baptist'' and a ''St Mark and St. Aniano''. It also had a main altarpiece depicting ''Crucifixion Scene'' by Andrea Vicentino, who also had a number of other works inside the church.〔''Guida di Venezia e delle isele Circonvicione'', by Pietro Selvatico, (Paolo Ripamenti Carpano, Publisher) 1852, page 191 ()〕 Frescoed on the walls of the nave and still extant is a depiction of the ''Martyrdom of St Thomas'' by Jacopo Guarana and an altarpiece of the ''Incredulity of St Thomas'' by Antonio Zanchi remains.
