The area
Address
Neighborhood: Cannaregio
Cannaregio is the second largest sestiere (district) with its busy Santa Lucia train station. Many transplanted Venetians commute from the outlying areas, “terra firma” to the locals, which is shorthand for any place that is not Venice. Two Grand Canal bridges serve Cannaregio, the newest (Constitution, 2008) still a local hotbed of controversy. Ponte degli Scalzi is a busy link to the train station. Nearby shops on the Lista di Spagna offer specialties like pastries and coffee that lure Venetians with a down-to-earth attitude. The Ghetto, where the Jewish population was segregated in Cannaregio, has five historic synagogues with an active Jewish community. The Fondamente Nove bustles with foot traffic to the Rialto and San Marco while vaporettos (water taxis) head to Murano and other islands. Side streets lead into quiet picturesque neighborhoods and palaces like Ca' d'Oro rise directly out of the water.

Chiesa della Maddalena is quite an interesting building. It's in Campo della Maddalena and it's distinguished by its different rounded shape. Worth visiting if you pass by.

We stayed next door to the church and de decided to visit. They have a great setup of Jesus's life from birth to crucifixion. There is NO charge, unlike other churches.

Even located at the western terminus of Strada Nova, this area is not crowded. This is a circular church, dating back to 1222, but the current building was rebuilt in 1780. The most striking feature is the Masonic symbols above the portal, it is believed that the Balbo family had membership in the Knights Templar.

This small church really stands out in the Campo Maddalena. It was rebuilt in the 17th century in a neoclassical design. It is unusual as it is built in a circular design which the builder derived his inspirations from the Parthenon. Above the doorway are bas relief masonic symbols. The church must have been frequented by the Knights Templar in the past. The interior of this church is built on a hexagonal plan. It is not an ornate church and the designs are quite simple. It is very much a minimalist decor although it has some interesting religious paintings on the side altars. There was an interesting crystal display on the floor of the church. It appeared very much a New Age spiritual experience.

I was drawn to this church by the Masonic symbols above the portal. The outside reminded me of the Pantheon in Rome slightly. Inside it is a hexagonal plan with four side chapels and a Presbytery. There is some kind of "event" going on at the moment which I couldn't quite grasp. After looking at a maze of quartz laid out on the floor for a bit and listening to some odd music I scratched my head and left...odd

I really can't say this church is average because it's way above average. It's just that in a land with extraordinary churches, it's not as grand. The original was built in 1222, but it was rebuilt much later, in the 18th century. The church is located in the Cannaregio area of Venice. In this century, the church has been used for different events, including an exhibit hall for Le Biennale.

The first church of Santa Maria Maddalena here was built in 1220 by the Baffo family on the site of their fortified house. It was demolished and replaced by the present church in the 1760s, to a neoclassical design by Tommaso Temanza who died in 1789 and was buried in the church. Temanza was better known as a theorist and historian and this is one of his few completed buildings. The work was finished by Giannantonio Selva, who went on to design the Fenice opera house. Closed in 1810 and later reopened as an oratory. The church was recently restored and has since been used to house exhibitions.
