The Santa Maria Della Salute, commonly just called Salute, is a minor basilica at Punta Della Dogana in Venice. It’s octagonal in shape, has two magnificent domes and is a beautiful piece of architecture. It includes various paintings by Titian and Tintoretto, decorated Venetian painters.
The ceilings and walls are covered in paintings by Titian, Luca Giordano and other Italian painters. The church has a sacristy with some excellent frescoes and artwork by Tintoretto. An annual feast is held in honour of the Virgin crossing a temporary bridge over the Grand Canal, symbolising Venice's deliverance from the plague. It can be reached by Vaporetto and is situated on the bank of the Grand Canal. An annual feast takes place here on 21st November; it is called the ‘Festa Della Madonna Della Salute’ and is one of the most popular festivals in Venice.
