description
The monumental church of the Madonna dell'Orto stands on the far northern edge of the Sestiere of Cannaregio, in a churchyard, which still preserves the ancient terra cotta flooring in a herring-bone pattern within Istrian stone division. Built in the XIV century and rebuilt, or strongly remodelled, in the fifteenth century, the church was dedicated to St. Christopher, but soon took its current popular name in honour of the miraculous image of the Virgin with Child found in a nearby garden (now preserved in the Chapel San Mauro).
