The square outside the Madonna dell’Orto is formed by bricks in a fish bone design. The church is 14th Century and was originally known as San Cristoforo but when an image of the Madonna was discovered nearby the church was re-named. The style is Gothic and inside there are many works of art. Among these are, ’Presentazione di Maria al Tempio’, ’Il Martirio di San Cristoforo’, ’Giudizio Universale’ and ’Il Popolo Ebraico adora il Vitello d’oro’ by Tintoretto, as well as art by G Bellini, Palma il Vecchio and Palma il Giovane.
