Built in 1384 with an adjoining convent in which the nuns of Saint Catherine found refuge after their convent was destroyed during the Chioggia war.

The church has ancient origins, its construction dates back to the late XIV century.

It is a Romanic-style structure with superimposed Baroque elements which were added in the XVII and XVIII centuries.

A painting of the Madonna della Salute is housed within Saint Catherine’s church. Her festival is celebrated on the 21st of November, one of the few occasions during which the church is open to the public.
