Named after a Madonna statue discovered in a nearby orto (orchard) and thought to perform miracles, this elegantly spare Gothic church from 1365 was also the parish church of Renaissance painter Tintoretto (1518–94), who is buried in the chapel to the right of the altar. Inside, you'll find two of Tintoretto's finest works: Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple and Last Judgment, where lost souls attempt to hold back a teal tidal wave while an angel rescues one last person from the ultimate acqua alta (high tide).
It also once included a Bellini masterpiece, stolen in 1993 – note the empty space in the side chapel.
