The '''Santa Maria della Visitazione '''is a [[Renaissance]] church, though no one is quite sure who the architect was; both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauro_Codussi Mauro Codussi] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tullio_Lombardo Tullio Lombardo] are given credit for at least parts of the design. The Jesuate order also built a monastery with several cloisters beside and behind the church. The order was suppressed in 1668, and the Dominicans took over the complex and soon decided they needed a larger church. Instead of demolishing the smaller church, they built it next door and left the older church standing, which is very unusual for [[Venice]].

The Santa Maria dell Visitazione.

The Santa Maria della Visitazione is a Renaissance church located in Venice. It is located in the southermost district and it houses and Assassin's Tomb. The Assassin's tomb involves pulling levers to open the door to the tomb which is located under the church.

History

For a while, the old church was a library and then the entire religious complex was suppressed by the French in the early 19th century. Santa Maria della Visitazione eventually reopened as a church and today, it’s the oratory for the Istituto Don Orione, who have turned the monastery into a conference center and “modern” religious guest house with free Wi-Fi in the open air cloisters.
