Santa Maria Formosa in Venice was completed in 1492 to a design by Mauro Codussi, according to the article text, though the infobox names no architect. Tradition holds that a 7th-century predecessor on the site was one of eight churches founded by San Magno, bishop of Oderzo. The plan is a Latin cross with a nave and two aisles.
The church has two contrasting facades, a Renaissance one facing the canal, commissioned in 1542, and a Baroque one facing the square, commissioned in 1604. The article names no architect for either. The dome collapsed in an earthquake in 1688 and was rebuilt.
The article also mentions a campanile with a mascaron on its front door, and several nearby palaces, including Palazzo Grimani di Santa Maria Formosa. It gives no materials, dimensions or access details.
