It was constructed after Venice had been freed of the plague in 1630-31, and consacrated in 1987. The project of the Basilica was begun by Baldassare Longhena who did not live to see it completed. Very fine the overall effect of the statues that decorate the facade; while the octagonal plan interior is hung with important paintings such as the altarpiece by Titian in the Sacristy. Every year, the 21 November a Festival dedicated to the Vergin Mary, brings Venetians around the church for a festival.
