Santa Maria della Visitazione, Renaissance brick church in Venice, Italy
The 15th-century Santa Maria della Visitazione features a classical facade, intricate roundels on the coffered ceiling, and substantial interior decorations in brick construction.
Built between 1494 and 1524 by Lombard architects for the Gesuati order, who maintained the church until their suppression in 1668.
The church holds 58 ceiling roundels by Pier Paolo Agabiti depicting religious figures, with the central panel showing the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth.
The building operates under Centro Culturale Don Orione and welcomes visitors for concerts and cultural events throughout the calendar year.
Following its repurposing as a library in 1810, the original bookcases crafted by Giorgio Massari now reside in the Accademia of Venice.
