On the right bank of the Grand Canal in Cannaregio, between Palazzo Memmo Martinengo Mandelli and Palazzo Correr Contarini Zorzi, Palazzo Gritti Dandolo looks like a seventeenth-century palace — but it is not: beneath the classical cladding beats a medieval Gothic heart, which a radical 17th-century remodelling masked by changing the windows without touching the dimensions.
