Santa Maria della Fava, Venice, Baroque church in Castello district, Venice, Italy.
The Santa Maria della Fava church exhibits Italian Baroque architecture with a large dome, multiple statues, and ornate marble decorations throughout its structure.
Construction of the church started in 1500, with architects Antonio Gaspari and Giorgio Massari completing major renovations and the presbytery by 1750.
The church houses important artworks including Tiepolo's 1732 altarpiece depicting Saint Anne, Young Mary, and Saint Gioacchino, along with Piazzetta's Virgin with St Phillip Neri.
Located at the intersection of multiple pedestrian routes in central Venice, the church remains open for religious services and guided visits.
The name 'della Fava' stems from the area's historical connection to bean trading and pastry shops that specialized in bean-based desserts.
