On the Grand Canal, tucked between Ca’ del Duca and Palazzo Giustinian Lolin, this 15th-century Gothic palazzetto breaks with convention. Venetian palaces usually follow a three-part façade, but here two small projecting liagò flank the large central multi-light window, giving the house a picturesque, asymmetrical look. The four-storey façade also sits slightly back from the waterfront.
