Il Redentore, Venice 1577

Il Redentore, designed by Andrea Palladio in 1577, is a church in Venice. The building features the characteristic Palladian style, with its symmetrical façade, classical columns, and a central dome. The church was built as a thank offering after the plague that ravaged Venice in 1576. The church's location on the Giudecca island, across the water from Venice, creates a powerful visual contrast between the city and the tranquil setting of the church. The church's architectural grandeur and its historical significance make it a popular destination for tourists and art lovers alike.
