Santa Maria degli Angeli, Renaissance church in Murano, Italy.

The church features white marble walls with decorated arches and contains multiple artworks including paintings by Francesco Zugno and Antonio Molinari.

Venetian noblewoman Ginevra Gradenigo donated land in 1188 for a monastery, leading to construction that concluded with reconsecration in 1529.

The monastery maintained strong connections with Venetian nobility, as demonstrated by King Henry III of France's visit to the church in 1574.

The church stands near the northern edge of Murano island, making it accessible by water transportation from central Venice.

The entrance displays an Istrian marble bas-relief depicting the Annunciation, while the high altar contains a painting of the same theme by Il Pordenone.
