Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, 18th century palace on Grand Canal, Venice, Italy
The white limestone Palazzo Venier dei Leoni displays a single-story facade with classical arches and stone lion heads at water level.
Architect Lorenzo Boschetti designed this palace in 1749 for the Venier family, but financial issues limited construction to one floor instead of five.
The palace houses the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which opened to the public in 1980 under management of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
The palace entrance faces the Grand Canal, allowing visitors to arrive by water taxi or vaporetto at designated stops near the building.
Stone lion head decorations on the water-level facade gave the palace its name, despite local tales of actual lions kept in the garden.
