The canal's banks are lined with significant landmarks, including the iconic Church of the Redeemer (Chiesa del Redentore), designed by Andrea Palladio in the 16th century. The annual Festa del Redentore, held every July, sees the canal adorned with boats and fireworks, celebrating Venice's deliverance from the plague in 1576. Today, the Giudecca Canal offers stunning views of Venice's skyline, making it a popular route for visitors seeking a picturesque and serene experience of the city.
