Description
The triangular area of Venice where the Grand Canal meets the Giudecca Canal. The church is Santa Maria della Salute, Patriarchal Seminary of Venice, and Dogana da Mare at the triangle's tip. In 1630, Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (or of Deliverance, Italian: Salute). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by Baldassare Longhena. Punta della Dogana is an art museum in Venice's old customs building, the Dogana da Mare.
