Venice's Most Photographed Church

【Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute】 This basilica, characterized by its dome and white marble exterior, is located at the entrance of the Grand Canal and is considered "the most photographed place in Italy." It is often featured in landscape photos of Venice and can be easily viewed from a vaporetto. Apparently, it was built to thank the Virgin Mary for the end of the plague, and true to its origins, the interior exudes an even more sacred atmosphere compared to other churches. It feels more like a place of solace for local worshippers rather than a tourist attraction. Admission is free, so if you want to quietly experience the sacred Catholic ambiance, be sure to visit! 📍Location: Dorsoduro, 1, 30123 Venezia VE 🕰️Hours: 9:00-12:00 / 15:00-17:30 💰Price per person: Free admission Access: Just a short walk from the Salute vaporetto terminal.
