Sant'Anna, Former Gothic church in Castello district, Venice, Italy
Sant'Anna features pointed arches and intricate stonework typical of medieval religious architecture, standing near the Rio di Sant'Anna canal in Venice.
The church and convent complex originated in 1240, serving as a religious institution for nuns throughout multiple centuries of Venetian history.
Two daughters of the painter Tintoretto resided in the convent attached to Sant'Anna, contributing to the artistic legacy of this religious complex.
The building remains closed to visitors, with its entrance doors regularly secured by chains, limiting access to this historical structure.
A former resident nun produced literary works describing life inside the convent walls, including a notable text titled 'The Nun's Hell'.
