Santa Maria della Salute is a basilica in Venice. Designed by Baldassare Longhena with attention to models of Palladio, is one of the best examples of Baroque architecture in Venice. Its construction is a votive offering to the Virgin Mary by the Venetians for deliverance from the plague that between 1630 and 1631 decimated the population. via 500px http://j.mp/1yt7XOd
