Convent of Santa Maria Maddalena, Religious monastery in Giudecca, Italy.

The Convent of Santa Maria Maddalena features multiple buildings spread across the Giudecca island, with a central courtyard and traditional Venetian architectural elements.

Founded in 1556, the convent underwent several transformations, serving as a hospital, prison, and monastery before its deconsecration during the Napoleonic period in 1805.

The convent's evolution from a religious institution to various civic purposes reflects the changing social dynamics of Venice through different historical periods.

The complex stands near the waterfront of Giudecca island, accessible by regular water transportation services from central Venice throughout the day.

The structure integrates multiple architectural periods, combining Renaissance elements with later modifications that showcase its transformation from religious to secular use.
