The exterior of Santa Maria dei Miracoli is exceptional. The pale and delicate layers of recently cleaned marble are stunning and worth searching out. The expensive interior tour is not worth your time or money. Read "The City of Falling Angels" by John Berendt if you'd like to know more about the church's ten year restoration process. While it's only... More

This small church off the most touristic route is a true jem well worth a small diversion and a visit. It overlooks a tiny square by a canal and it is all covered in marbles of different colours both inside and outside. Especially the inside, gives a sense of peace and serenity, due to the large amount of light coming... More

I was in Venice for one day's visit from a cruise liner, and my plan was to visit the more northern part of the city i.e. San Zanipolo etc. Quite by chance I came upon this gem of a church with its splendid marble walls and jewel-box interior. It is quite "tucked away" but I cannot recommend strongly enough including... More

This is such a great spot, often mentioned in Donna Leon's books. it was fun to wander through squares and streets and pause for a wine in Piazza S Luca on the way. The exterior of the church is so photogenic that we wasted time and had to leave before venturing in. More

Shouldn't be missed. Not easy to find, but the mission first to find it and then to find our way to St. Mark's Square after touring the church, was almost as fun as the tour itself. It is intimate and well-restored. Larger than a chapel, but certainly smaller than the larger churches, viewing the painting the church was built to... More

We visited Santa Maria dei Miracoli (3 Euro per person) after reading high praise for this church in our DK Top 10 Venice book as well as here on Trip Advisor. This church is highly touted for representing early Venetian renaissance and featuring an important painting of the Virgin Mary that has been considered miraculous in this area of Venice... More
