Santa Maria del Pianto, Venice, Former Catholic church in Castello district, Venice, Italy
The octagonal building designed by Francesco Contin exhibits Italian Baroque architecture with ornate details across its exterior and interior surfaces.
Following a Senate decree in 1646, the construction of Santa Maria del Pianto began in 1647 and reached completion with its consecration in 1687.
The religious complex included a Servite nunnery called Cappuccine delle Fondamenta Nuove, where nuns followed the Augustinian religious practices.
The structure stands at coordinates 45.439905, 12.345401 in the northern section of Venice, near Fondamente Nove waterfront.
After its abandonment in 1810 due to the suppression of the monastic order, the church underwent restoration work in 1842.
