Palazzo dei Camerlenghi, Renaissance palace near Rialto Bridge, Venice, Italy
The three-story pentagonal palace follows the curve of the Grand Canal, featuring tall windows with decorative friezes and false columns on its exterior.
Constructed in 1488 and expanded between 1525 and 1528 by architect Guglielmo dei Grigi, the palace served as headquarters for Venetian financial magistrates.
The palace accumulated numerous artworks through a tradition where departing magistrates left religious paintings and portraits in their former offices.
The Palazzo dei Camerlenghi now functions as the regional headquarters of the Italian Comptroller and Auditor General, maintaining its administrative purpose.
The lower floor of the palace operated as a debtors' prison, positioned near the Rialto Bridge to warn passersby about the consequences of defaulting.
