The Church of the Redentore is one of the most famous and venerated churches in Venice, and the centrepiece of one of the city's most deeply felt public celebrations (the Feast of the Redentore, on the third Sunday in July). Commissioned by the Senate to honour a vow taken during the terrible plague of 1575-77, the Church was designed by Andrea Palladio and is one of the absolute masterpiece of Renaissance architecture (it was completed after Palladio's death in 1580 by his foreman Antonio da Ponte, who remained totally faithful to the original designs). A typically Palladian composition of broken pediments and half columns united by a horizontal band, the façade has, from a distance, something of the air of a bas-relief.

Not one of the Palladio's masterpieces (I rather prefer San Giorgio Maggiore), but it is worth a visit, especially because Giudecca is one of the best off-track spots and has an interesting history.

Another nice church. Charges 3€ per person. Not sure if they charge for locals. We opted not to go

Solamente un giorno all'anno potrete cammare sospesi in un ponte di barche e raggiungere l'altra sponda del canale mentre il cielo scoppia di luci. Translate

Nel 1575 scoppia una'epidemia di peste. Nel 1576, quando il male sembra invincibile, il Senato chiede l'aiuto divino facendo voto di realizzare alla Giudecca una nuova chiesa intitolata al Redentore. Translate
