Caotorta Angaran Palace, Venice

Palazzo Caotorta Angaran is a Venetian civil building located in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal between Palazzo Balbi and Palazzo Civran Grimani.

 

History

A fourteenth-century building, it was almost completely rebuilt in 1956 by Angelo Scattolin.

 

Architecture

It has a plastered facade, divided according to the Venetian tradition: ground floor, bearing the water portal, two main floors with mullioned windows and mezzanine attic. A large dormer window extends above the eaves line. The facade, particularly simple in terms of decorations, appears interesting due to the presence of important stringcourses and an eighteenth-century coat of arms placed between the mezzanine windows. As for the three-mullioned windows, they both recall the classic serliana, although the lower one is more important.
