Palazzo Priuli Manfrin

The palace stands along the Cannaregio Canal with a main facade characterized by a central balustrade and decorative stone elements.

Between 1724 and 1731, architect Andrea Tirali designed the structure for the Priuli family, incorporating elements of Baroque architecture.

Count Girolamo Manfrin transformed the palace into an art gallery in 1787, collecting numerous paintings including Giorgione's The Tempest.

The building extends across multiple floors, featuring a central ball hall that spans two noble levels behind the main section.

The palace design differs from traditional Venetian architecture through its deliberate absence of arches on the main facade.
