The beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, designed by Baldassare Longhena in Baroque style, is located on the narrow finger of Punta della Dogana between the Canale Grande and Giudecca Canal, just opposite of the Piazza San Marco, Venice. It was built in 1631 to commemorate the end of an unusually bad outbreak of the plague a year before which killed a huge number of people.
Thank you Edoarde Galletti for this awesome view of the Basilica !!!
