Palazzo Corner Gheltof, Venice

Palazzo Corner Gheltof is a Venetian civil building located in the San Marco district and overlooking the Grand Canal next to the Mocenigo complex.

 

History

Built on an unidentified date, it was partially rebuilt in the 16th century.

 

Architecture

It is characterized by the presence of two facades of different dates. The rear one, facing a large courtyard, still has Byzantine elements, including a well curb dating back to the X-XI century, parapets with pointed arched balconies and an open staircase. The front façade, dating back to the end of the 16th century, is organized around a central axis made up of a water portal, serliana and quadrifora and surrounded by numerous single-lancet windows. On the second noble floor there are two coats of arms: it cannot be defined with certainty whether they are originals or nineteenth-century copies. The main front culminates in a dormer window.
