Chiesa di Santa Maria Maddalena

Place of worshipLocals' pick

Tommaso Temanza's round Neoclassical church (1763-90), modelled on the Pantheon, a rare circular plan in Venice. Over the door, the all-seeing eye inside a triangle and circle is often read as a Masonic symbol; the inscription says it stands for divine Providence.
