Visit Madonna dell'Orto, the Gothic church Venetians call Tintoretto's own. Spend half an hour among his canvases and the calm of a neighbourhood far from the main sightseeing routes.

Full description

Founded in 1371 as San Cristoforo and renamed after a miraculous Madonna in 1377, this Venetian Gothic church stands in the quiet northern reaches of Cannaregio. Its elegant facade and cloisters frame an interior best known for paintings by Tintoretto, who lived nearby and is buried here.

Reviewers praise the peaceful, more local feel compared with central Venice and call it a rewarding stop for art lovers. A small entrance fee applies, and a visit takes around 30 minutes.
