Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli

In my opinion one of the most beautiful churches in the entire city - loved the gorgeous rounded roof Costs to enter

From a purely tourist point of view. Nothing wrong with this church and worth it if your passing or have a pass. There are more remarkable churches, this is maybe more impressive outside than in.

Exquisite! The only church in Venise covered in marble both outside and inside, apparently. Not huge, but so much to see; from the subtle use of the patterns of the marble, its colour palette, the proportions and rhythm throughout. Without mentioning the carving of bannisters and around the altar, the rich but elegant ceiling, etc... One of my favourite Venice church so far.

Magnificent church both outside and inside. Awaken awe and some peace in us. This is one of those churches in which is immediately felt that something special. The church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli is a truly special church, both from a historical-artistic point of view, and from a sentimental point of view for the Venetians. The church is not big, but it is significant and there is so much to see. Santa Maria dei Miracoli is striking above all for the elegant facade covered with marble which, as they say, seem to come from what remained after the construction of the Basilica of San Marco. Unlike all the other churches in the city, the result of numerous overlapping styles, the church of the Miracles has come to us practically intact, founded much more recently than the others, it was designed, built and decorated by a single artist and his workshop , perhaps in a single stage or at most in two very close stages. The church was built between 1481 and 1489 on commission by Angelo Amadi to house an image of the "Virgin and Child between two Saints" which he owned and which was said to be miraculous. The façade is so impressive that you can't take your eyes off it. The façade, with the original semicircular front decorated with rose windows, made of two orders of porticoes carved in marble, and the cylindrical roof, perfectly enclose the volume of the church. The interior, very coherent with the exterior, has a single nave, with a raised presbytery and richly decorated with precious carved marbles. On the altar there is the famous Madonna and Child, considered miraculous, the work of Zanino di Pietro (15th century). The dome in the pendentives shows the effigies of the four Evangelists, probably works by Pietro Lombardo himself, like the splendid perforated transenna of the presbytery. For us, visiting this church was a special experience.

We did not visit this Venetian Church. However the area where the Church is located is gorgeous😍 - like most places in Venice. Quiet Canals with the lone Gondola. Homes boasting beautiful Venetian windows with flowers. Locality is part of the Cannaregio district and close to Fondamente Nove - main transit point to Marco Polo Airport and Murano/Burano💛💚💙💜

Beautiful renaissance church built to house a miraculous painting. Polychrome marble inside and outside. Incredible design and workmanship. Well worth a long relazing visit! We keep coming back year after year.

The only all marble church in Venice, the exterior is beautiful, but the interior is relatively featureless. The interior ceiling has a large number of very small, hard to see paintings of saints that are really only interesting to art majors. There are better churches in Venice.

Another very nice church in the centre of Venice. The way there there are a lot of nice channels and a lot of places to do some shopping.
