The Chiesa di S. Maria del Rosario, or I Gesuati as it is locally known, was founded in the year 1493 and is a Catholic church.

History

This church and monastery were established in the 14th century by monks from the Blessed Giovanni Colombino order. The order changed their name to the Poor Gesuati, and then rebuilt the church in the 15th century and rededicated it to their new name. In the 17th century, the Dominicans took over the church and monastery and then constructed a new church in its place, which still stands today. The façade is very ornate in that it includes several sculptures of the four virtues, modeled after the Church of Redentore across the Giudecca canal.
