Le Zitelle (explored)

Le Zitelle (officially Santa Maria della Presentazione) is a church in Venice, Italy. It is part of a former complex that gave shelter to young maidens ("zitelle" in Italian) who had no dowry, and is in the easternmost part of the Giudecca island.

 

Generally attributed to Andrea Palladio, the original design dates to 1579–80 and the construction to 1586.
