On the Lista di Spagna, at number 233, a 15th-century Gothic portal outlives the palace it guarded: it was the secondary entrance of the famous Palazzo Morosini ’dalla Tressa’, whose real façade — entirely frescoed by Pordenone — faced the Grand Canal, behind a courtyard enclosed by a wall that Martinioni counted among the most notable palaces in the city.
