Ca' Giustinian

The Ca' Giustinian, sometimes called the Palazzo Giustinian, is a palace on the Grand Canal in the San Marco sestiere of Venice, Italy. It is today the seat of the Venice Biennale. Built in 1471, it was among the last Gothic palazzi built in Venice. It was partially modernized in the 17th century.[1][2]

This article is about the San Marco palace. For the Dorsoduro palaces of Ca' Giustinian dei Vescovi and dalle Zogie, see Palazzo Giustinian.

Design

The current building is the fusion of two earlier buildings, the larger Giustinian to the east and the smaller Badoer-Tiepolo to the west.[2]

Location

Ca' Giustinian fronts on the Grand Canal on the south. To its left, separated by the Calle Tredici Martiri, is the Bauer Hotel, and to its right, separated by the Calle Ridotto, is the Hotel Monaco and Grand Canal.
