Palazzo Molin in San Basegio is an architecture of Venice, located in
the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Giudecca Canal.
It
occupies the western end of the fondamenta delle Zattere, opposite
Molino Stucky.
Palazzo Molin, built in the 16th century, has the typical structure
of middle-class rental houses in 16th-century Venice, with several
apartments organized around a central light well.
The building is
organized on three floors plus two mezzanines, one above the ground
floor and one in the attic. Its surfaces appear rough, in brick, due to
the fall of the old red plaster.
The ground floor is opened by
eight entrances, characterized by simple rectangular portals.
The
openings of the mezzanines are, on all sides, series of quadrangular
single-lancet windows in a simple stone frame.
The main openings
are found on the noble floors, crossed by a series of single lancet
windows, interrupted centrally on the two main facades, the south one on
the Giudecca Canal and the north one on Campo San Basegio, by two
three-light windows per floor, supported by Doric columns and equipped
with stone balconies.
