威尼斯安康圣母教堂

这是经过圣马克广场到了运河边，斜对面看到的教堂，其高大的圆顶和八角形结构很有特色，许多描绘威尼斯的绘画中也常看到此教堂的身影。里面的空间，作为教堂很亮，丁托列托和提香的绘画也值得欣赏。坐在教堂前的台阶上休息一会儿，看看运河风景也很不错。

I think this is my favorite exterior of all the churches/basilicas in Venice...and often a string quartet will be playing Vivaldi one the pavement near the water in the fine weather. Just sit on the steps and take it all in!

This was a spectacular building right by the canal and well worth a visit to look up at the huge dome. Organ music playing when we were there which was very moving.

It is the most prominent of the buildings along the canal front it is a must. Beautiful, not busy and stunning outside and inside

Loved this beautiful church with unique interior and set up. The most impressive part is the exterior with many beautiful sculptures that can be observed passing by on the canal. It's also in a great location for panoramic pictures at the edge of the island.

The most beautiful place in the city. Great inside but absolutely stunning looking from the outside across the lagoon. Highlight of our holiday.

As churches go, I've seen more impressive.But if your a church fan and walking by, take a look.I didn't go in immediately as there was a begger lurking in the entrance, eventually we had to walk past hime.

From Campiello Traghetto beside the Gritti Palace, use the traghetto to get to Campo del Traghetto – Calle Lanza in Dorsoduro. From there it is a short walk to Santa Maria della Salute. The traghetto experience in itself is worth it, if you haven't had a chance to see the Grand Canal from the water level.

We stopped here to have a look inside due to other people suggesting it as a must see. It is open from 9-12 and 3-6. Be aware of bums on the door acting like you have to pay to get in: IT IS FREE. The church has signs telling you this but the people on the door intimidate you a little because in England we expect to pay to see a church as awesome as this one. Once you get in there is box where you can put your donation. It is also worth going into the crypt. You pay 3 euros but it is worth walking in and seeing the paintings on the ceilings. Note - there are no bathroom facilities near the Church and the museums will not allow you to use theres unless you are coming in to their attraction. The closest bathroom is Acamadie bridge and it cost $1.50 per person. You can stop at little pub (corner pub) which is on route to academie and have a coffee and a bathroom break! (great little pub too!)

I didn't get to visit this church during our first visit to Venice so it was top of my list for this timeIt's location at the entrance of the Grand Canal is one of the best landmarks in Venice and makes for a stunning backdropThe exterior of the church is simply stunning however, the interior is slightly more sober in comparison, but is a must see - if only for the works by Titian on the ceiling

We arrived at the church at 1 to find out it is closed from 12-3. We decided to wait around because of the reviews given. We walked around the area and when we went in it was worth the wait. To start be aware of the people that stand on the door with their little basket. They look like you have to pay them to get in but they are a scam! They are just bumming. The church has many signs around saying it's free. There is a big inside the church that you can put your donation in. The church is beautiful. It is also worth going into the crypt. It cost 3 euros each but the paintings are amazing. All in all it was was the wait!

My opinion might be slightly skewed as I was there on a photography workshop. Salute is certainly a photographer's paradise. Shoot in black and white or color; use a telephoto or fisheye lens; shoot architectural details or people -- it all works. We were there on a Sunday during a service so the people watching was particularly good - there was even a dog tied up just inside the entrance. He stayed for the whole service. My perspective was certainly not a religious one, so I can't speak to the sacred nature of the building. It is certainly one of the most iconic buildings in Venice, rivalling those in the Piazza San Marco. Well worth a visit.

Built to commemorate the end of the bubonic plague ( La peste ) in Venice, this church has a beautiful position in Venice. Although very plain inside compared to the other churches in Venice it still is worth a visit to admire its simplicity. You can then walk to the "punta della dogana" past the old customs offices and warehouses to get a magnificent view of St Marks, Palazzo Ducale, Isola di San Giorgio and La Guidecca.

If you are over the canal from St Marks it is worth a visit . A vast open space with an impressive mosaic floory

such a beautiful historic church from the 17th century. it is designed in baroque style in the form of a rotunda & also visible from the Piazza San Marco when entering from the water. i liked the church more from the outside than inside. west of the church is a stream called "Rio della Salute" which is an absolutely picturesque area of Venice with its green-blue waters, a small bridge & a tiny Inn on the other side. great place for taking pictures!
