Step inside Basilica Santa Maria della Salute, Venice's great domed church on the Grand Canal. Admire the octagonal interior, then look for the sacristy with its twelve Titian paintings and linger by the canal outside.

📖

Full description

Santa Maria della Salute sits at the entrance of the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro, and its large dome makes it one of the most recognisable shapes on the Venetian skyline. The octagonal design gives the interior a light, airy feel, with some modern art displayed alongside historic pieces.

The sacristy holds twelve works by Titian. Reviewers single out the canal-side setting at sunset and the calm of stepping inside after the busier parts of Venice.

Entry to the main church is free, and the building closes at midday before reopening in the afternoon.

Reviews

Venezia 🇮🇹 Seeing the sunset colors reflect over the Grand Canal right by this beautiful basilica is pure magic! The warm evening lighting against the massive dome makes the scenery completely unreal. An unforgettable view that you absolutely cannot miss in Venice!
