The church of Il Redentore stands on the island of Giudecca, with a view across the canal to the Piazzetta. Alongside Santa Maria della Salute, it is one of the two votive churches in Venice that were donated by the Signoria for salvation from the plague. It is also the monastery church of the adjoining Capuchin monastery. The Redentore Festival is celebrated every year on the 3rd Sunday in July.
