What you'll see
The great white domed church at the mouth of the Grand Canal. Walk on to the point beyond it, the Punta della Dogana, for one of the best free views across to San Marco.
A brief history
Venice vowed to build it during the plague of 1630, which killed about a third of the city. Every November the city still walks to it across a temporary bridge of boats.
