Things to do in Venice, Veneto: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Built in 1745 by architect Masaari, the façade of this church has a classical style, and is noted for the presence of Gian Battista Tiepolo's masterpieces, the "Fortezza e la Pace" and the "Trionfo delle Fede," which is painted on the ceiling.

This church is smaller than some, but definitely has a wow factor, especially if you attend one of the Vivaldi concerts. My daughter and I attended an evening performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons in the church and the quality of the musicians and the actual sound was inspiring. This church does have an historical connection to Vivaldi as it was his church and he performed and directed music right in it while living in Venice. Just awesome and a lovely night out. Venice is amazing, but there is nothing like Venice in the evening. Have a lovely dinner by the Grand Canal and pair it with a trip to Chiesa Santa Maria della Pieta!

We stumbled upon this place after coming back from Murano via the boat dock of the same name. Nice square to get a little bit of breathing room. Lots of good dining options around there too! The church itself was very interesting, & a great no cost attraction to see some amazing architecture & art. Worth the visit!

Was great to visit thu church although I had tj return at 3.30 as church shut in the early afternoon. This was the parish church of the Vivaldi family and the font in which he was baptised, with it's gilded cover, is near the back . Highly recommended!
