Chiesa di San Moisè

The church of Santa Maria del Giglio, also called Santa Maria Zobenigo, is believed to have been built in the 10th century. Its erection as a parish church is also uncertain and probably dates back to the 11th century. Its present appearance is the result of a restoration carried out in 1680. The 14th-century bell tower, isolated from the body of the church, was demolished in 1775 because it was dangerous. Its base is now used as a small shop. The façade of the church is the work of the architect Giuseppe Sardi (1624-1699) and is a Baroque masterpiece.

Santa Maria della Salute is one of the best expressions of Venetian Baroque architecture. Its construction between 1631 and 1687 is an ex voto to the Virgin by the Venetians for the liberation from the plague that decimated the population between 1630 and 1631. The construction was entrusted to Baldassare Longhena, who designed the church "in the shape of a crown to be dedicated to the Virgin".Every year, on 21 November, the day of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary, the Venetians cross a bridge, made for centuries of boats, now floating on poles, which goes from St. Mark's to the basilica and go there to pray.

St. Mark's Basilica, with the Campanile and St. Mark's Square, is the main architectural site of Venice. The current basilica, built on an old church also dedicated to St. Mark, dates back to the 11th century. Throughout the period of the Republic of Venice, the church belonged to the Doge's Palace. It was not until 1807 that St. Mark officially became a cathedral.
