This church is commonly known as “Il Redentore”. It was designed in the 16th century by the famous Italian architect Andrea Palladio as a votive church after a plague epidemic. This church was built to thank God, so it is definitely the right place to thank God also for your marriage, renewing your wedding vows. Moreover, it is really a stunning church, both outside with its dome and its white façade, and inside with paintings of famous artists such as Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese.
