Santa Margherita (Italian: Chiesa di Santa Margherita) is a deconsecrated church in Venice, Italy.
The church was built in the 9th century,[1] and deconsecrated in 1810. Since the early 19th century, the building has been repurposed multiple times, including as a tobacco factory and a cinema. It currently houses the Auditorium Santa Margherita, one of the buildings of the Ca' Foscari University of Venice. The church was named after Saint Margaret of Antioch.[2]
