Palazzo Corner Contarini dei Cavalli, Gothic palace on Grand Canal in Venice, Italy.

The palace features a hexafora with trefoil arches on the main floor and lateral lancet windows reflecting the Doge's Palace architectural style.

The previous structure on this site received a mark of shame in 1310 after its owners participated in Bajamonte Tiepolo's failed rebellion.

The palace exemplifies the transformation of Venetian architecture, combining Gothic elements with later modifications across different construction periods.

The building now functions as offices for the Ministry of Justice, positioned between Rio di San Luca and Palazzo Grimani di San Luca.

Two large fifteenth-century shields depicting sea horses on the facade gave the palace its additional name 'dei Cavalli'.

Location: Venice

Architectural style: International Gothic
