History

edit

It was initially rebuilt in the second half of the 15th century by Augustinian nuns. The Convent was suppressed^{[clarification needed]} in 1896. The façade is garlanded with Istrian marble, and was initially commissioned by the procurator of St. Mark, Giovanni Soranzo, who asked Baldassare Longhena to design and rebuild the church in a Baroque-style in 1636-77.
