Santa Maria della Salute

The ancient church of San Gregorio was probably erected at the beginning of the 9th century, and in 989 it was submitted to the Benedictines of the Abbey of Sant'Ilario. Due to the decline of the latter, the monks gradually moved to San Gregorio in the following years. It was originally affiliated to the church of Santa Maria Zobenigo and also served as a parish. The monastery was abolished in 1775. The church briefly retained its role as a parish church but was closed to worship in 1808 under Napoleon. While the monastery buildings were used as dwellings, the church was occupied by a mint for refining gold. After its restoration in 1959-60, it was used as a restoration workshop by the Soprintendenza per i beni artistici e storici di Venezia. Today, it has long been disused.

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.

The original church of San Moisè is said to have been erected at the end of the 8th century by the Artigeri and Scoparii families and was originally dedicated to St Vittore. The church has been rebuilt over the centuries, but it is the 17th-century reconstruction that has had the greatest impact on the church. The façade was built in 1668 thanks to the financing of the brothers Vincenzo and Girolamo Fini who, according to their wishes, are represented on two busts placed above the side entrances. The project was carried out by Alessandro Tremignon from Padua, brother of the parish priest of the time, Andrea. In 1810, due to the Napoleonic edicts, the parish was suppressed and integrated into San Marco.
