Il Redentore, Renaissance votive church in Giudecca, Italy
The church features a grand facade with white marble columns, triangular pediments, and multiple statues rising above broad entrance steps on Giudecca Island.
The Venetian Senate ordered the construction of Il Redentore in 1577 after a plague killed one-third of Venice's population between 1575 and 1576.
The annual Festa del Redentore festival connects Venice to Giudecca with a temporary bridge of boats for a procession to celebrate the end of the plague.
Visitors reach Il Redentore by taking water bus line 2 to Redentore stop on Giudecca Island, with operating hours from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
The church exhibits classical temple proportions with a height of 48 meters, incorporating a pure white interior design that contrasts with typical Venetian decoration.
