Located in the Cannaregio District, the Chiesa della Madonna dell ‘Orto is a fine example of Italian Gothic architecture.

The church was established back in the mid 14th century and has seen various embellishments over the centuries including the addition of a very impressive sanctuary which is decorated by masterpieces painted by Tintoretto and other prominent artists. At the entrance you will find an elegant renaissance doorway topped by an arch and decorated with statues depicting St. Christopher, Arc Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary. There is an impressive 65m bell tower which is visible from just about everywhere in the city.

The church charges a modest entrance fee and is a place of calm reflection, slightly off the usual tourist thoroughfares.
