The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta) is a basilica church on the island of Torcello, Venice, northern Italy. It is a notable example of Venetian-Byzantine architecture, one of the most ancient religious edifices in the Veneto, and containing the earliest mosaics in the area of Venice.
According to an ancient inscription, it was founded by the exarch Isaac of Ravenna in 639, when Torcello was still a rival to the young nearby settlement at Venice.
The first of two major renovations occurred in 864 under the direction of Bishop Adeodatus II. The final renovation was consecrated under Bishop Orso Orseolo, whose father Pietro Orseolo II was the Doge of Venice at the time, in 1008.

Fondamenta dei Mori
Along the route leading to Madonna dell’Orto lies the Fondamenta dei Mori, with the square of the same name, which takes its name from the three 13th-century statues of Moors wearing turbans set against the buildings of the campo. A fourth Moor, known as “Sior Antonio Rioba,” with an iron nose, stands at the foot of the bridge and, like Rome’s Pasquino, served as a voice for Venetian satire against the Republic.
