The church of Santa Maria Maddalena, usually called La Maddalena, was built between 1763 and 1790 on an old medieval church. The new neoclassical church was built on a circular plan, according to the design of Tommaso Temanza. The work was completed in 1790 under the direction of Giannantonio Selva. In 1888 the bell tower, which was already unsafe, was pulled down.
The church of Santa Fosca was founded around the 10th century and has undergone various interventions. Its present appearance dates back to the reconstruction of the first half of the 18th century. The current façade was built between 1733 and 1741. The project is by the architect Domenico Rossi with a simple scheme.
The church of San Marziale is said to have been founded in the 9th century and rebuilt in 1133 on the initiative of the Bocchi family. In poor condition in the 17th century, the church was rebuilt in Baroque style between 1693 and 1721, the year of its re-consecration.
According to tradition, the church of San Marcuola was first built on the island of Lemeneo between the 9th and 10th centuries and then destroyed by fire following an earthquake. The present church was built in the 12th century, thanks to contributions from the Memmo family, owners of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, and the Lupanizza family. The present structure owes much to a reconstruction in baroque style between 1730 and 1766 according to the plans of Antonio Gaspari.
