Historic Churches of Venice

Venice's spiritual heritage is defined by a diverse collection of architectural styles, from the Byzantine mosaics of St Mark's Basilica to the Palladian Renaissance designs of San Giorgio Maggiore and Il Redentore. This list features historic landmarks including the plague-votive Church of Santa Maria della Salute, the 7th-century Holy Apostles, and the Gothic Madonna dell'Orto. Visitors can find masterpieces by Tintoretto and Titian, explore the musical history of Vivaldi at the Pietà, and admire the intricate marble facades of Santa Maria dei Miracoli.
