Santa Maria della Salute (The Salute) is Venice's most prominent Baroque church, built between 1631 and 1687 at the entrance to the Grand Canal. Baldassare Longhena designed it as a votive offering to the Virgin Mary for delivering Venice from the devastating plague of 1630, which killed a third of the population.
The octagonal church sits on over a million wooden piles driven into the lagoon floor. The sacristy contains major paintings by Titian, including his early St. Mark Enthroned and three ceiling panels. Tintoretto's Marriage at Cana also hangs here.
