Located on the island of Giudecca, across the lagoon from the Palazzo Ducale and Piazza San Marco, it is one of the most recognised churches of Venice. It is also the centrepiece of one of the city’s key public celebrations, the Feast of the Redentore, on the third Sunday of July, when a pontoon is built to bridge Giudecca with Zatterre, enabling people to come together and celebrate this festival.
