San Silvestro is a church building in the sestiere of San Polo of Venice, northern Italy.
The church is located in the business district of Rialto. Originally, in the 12th century, it was under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Grado. After rebuilding, it was reconsecrated in 1422, and in 1485 it merged with the Oratory of Santa Maria dei Patriarchi e di Ognissanti. After a partial collapse in 1820, the church was entirely rebuilt from 1837, being reconsecrated in 1850, to designs by Giovanni Meduna. The facade is modern, and was completed in 1909 by Giuseppe Sicher. The Baroque ceiling has paintings by Ludovico Dorigny. The altars were designed in the 19th century by Santi and decorated by the sculptor Giovanni Antonio Dorigo.
The interior has four Renaissance panels, and a Baptism of Christ by Tintoretto.
The Adoration of the Magi by Paolo Veronese is a large oil painting on canvas painted for the church in 1573 which has been in the National Gallery, London since the church sold it in 1855, presumably to finance the rebuilding. The painting was commissioned by the confraternity of Saint Joseph, the Scuola di San Giuseppe, and placed beside their altar on the left hand wall of the nave. They were not one of the very wealthy Scuole Grandi of Venice, nor trade-based like others with altars in the church, but essentially devotional, and they included female members.The church had a number of significant paintings, and the Veronese was next to the altar of St Joseph on the left side wall, which in the next century was given an altarpiece by Johann Carl Loth of the unusual subject of Joseph presenting the newborn Jesus to God the Father, which remains in the church. The Veronese had some fame, being singled out for mention in early guide books such as Giovanni Stringa's 1604 revision of Francesco Sansovino's Venetia. In 1670 agents of the new Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who had failed to persuade the convent of Saint Catherine to sell Veronese's Mystical Marriage of St Catherine of 1575 , turned to San Silvestro and attempted to bribe every member of the confraternity to sell the work, but failed after two years.

Minor chapels were added till 1543, when the basilica was reconsecrated. Major changes to the belltower were designed by Cristoforo Ricci and Giulio Romano in 1536-1570. The facade of the church had been left incomplete till it was completed in 1748-1753 using designs of Giovanni Battista Cattani. While the statues on the facade are contemporary with Cattani's design, on the dais in front of the church are placed six lions , sculpted in rose-colored marble by Gaspare Bigi, and meant to be bases for columns of a portico that had been planned for the church front.
The interior has works of art by Giovanni Giarola, Michelangelo Anselmi, Denis Calvaert, Ludovico Carracci, and Tommaso Laureti. It has altarpieces by Alessandro Tiarini and Francesco Stringa.

San Polo ist einer der sechs Stadtteile von Venedig. Er liegt südwestlich des Canal Grande in der durch diesen gebildeten großen Schleife. Seinen Namen leitet das Sestiere von der antiken Kirche San Paolo Apostolo ab. Dieser Kirche war ehemals eine eigene Pfarrei zugeordnet; heute gehört sie zur Gemeinde von Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. Das Sestiere hatte im Jahr 1171 acht Contrade ; bis 1586 stieg die Zahl auf neun.
2009 hatte San Polo eine Bevölkerungszahl von 5022, die sich auf die Pfarreien San Silvestro , San Cassiano und Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari verteilten.
Die Bevölkerung verteilt sich wie folgt auf die sieben Einzelinseln:
Das Sestiere ist mit rund 34 Hektar das kleinste der Stadt, birgt in seinen Grenzen jedoch den ältesten Teil Venedigs und den zweitgrößten Platz, den Campo San Polo.
Herzstück ist der Rialto mit dem Mercato di Rialto, dem Handelszentrum der Stadt. Der Name ist von rivo alto abgeleitet und umfasste zu Beginn der Stadtentwicklung eine Gruppe von Inselchen, die Isole Rialtine, die ihr Zentrum um den Rio Businiaco bildeten. In diesem Teil der Stadt befand sich im 9. Jahrhundert auch der erste Regierungssitz, der von Malamocco hierher verlegt worden war. Von den ursprünglichen Bauten ist nach der Brandnacht vom 10. Januar 1514, ausgenommen die Kirche San Giacometto, kaum etwas übrig geblieben.
