Church of the Madonna dell'Orto

Map

www.chorusvenezia.org

Flanked by the old Scuola dei Mercanti, this monumental church stands on the far northern edge of the Sestiere of Cannaregio in a churchyard that still maintains its original paving of brick laid out in a herring-bone pattern within Istrian stone divisions. Originally built in the 14th century, the structure was heavily modified in the 15th and owes its name to a miraculous statue of the Virgin and Child - now in the San Mauro Chapel - which was found in a nearby garden (orto); in fact, the church is officially dedicated to St. Christopher Martyr.

Built by the Italian religious order Humuliati, this beautiful church has an ornate brick facade and remarkable and historical Tintoretto paintings inside. Also don't miss the beautiful bell tower.

Deberían cambiarle el nombre para aquellos desprevenidos argentinos que leen su nombre sin pensar en la traducción al italiano.  Translate
