Santa Maria della Salute Venice
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Church of Santa Maria della Salute<\/p>\n

Santa Maria della Salute Venice\u00a0is certainly one of the most iconic buildings in Venice. A spectacular building situated along the Grand Canal, makes for a stunning backdrop.\u00a0It’s also in a great position for panoramic pictures at the edge of the island. Looking across to The Doges Palace Venice also offers you a magnificent view. The exterior has many beautiful sculptures that can be observed passing by on the canal. A vaporetto stop is located right outside, so it’s easy to visit. Also a very short walk from the Accademia bridge.<\/p>\n

Santa Maria della Salute Venice<\/strong>\u00a0was built to commemorate the end of the terrible plague. It killed about a third of the population of Venice in 1630.\u00a0It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Who at the time was believed to have lifted the plague and saved the city.<\/p>\n

Santa Maria della Salute Venice is designed in baroque style in the form of a rotunda.\u00a0Painstakingly, preserved piece of Venetian history.\u00a0Amazing pieces of marble work and alter pieces. Spectacular sculptures over altar.\u00a0Well worth a visit to look up at the huge dome. Organ music playing is very moving.\u00a0It is also worth going into the crypt. It cost 3 euros each, but the paintings are amazing.<\/p>\n

Please be aware of the people that stand by the front door with their little basket. They make it look like you have to pay them to enter. It is a scam.\u00a0There are many signs around saying it is free. There is a box inside the church that you can put your donation in.<\/p>\n

If you happen to be in Venice on November 21st, you can witness the celebration of the surviving the black plague. There’s a wonderful festival in the streets surrounding Santa Maria della Salute Venice.\u00a0The locals build a pontoon bridge from the campo next to the Gritti Palace Hotel Venice across to Dorsoduro.<\/p>\n

Note: There are no bathroom facilities near the Church. And the museums will not allow you to use theirs unless you are coming in to their attraction.[\/tab]<\/p>\n
