Palazzo Mastelli del Cammello, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Italy

The Palazzo Mastelli del Cammello stands along the Rio Madonna dell'Orto canal with gray stucco walls and Gothic architectural elements across three levels.

Three merchant brothers from the Peloponnese, Rioba, Sandi, and Afani, established this palace in 1112 after moving to Venice and adopting the Mastelli surname.

The palace features four stone statues of Moors and a camel bas-relief on its facade, reflecting the connection between Venice and eastern Mediterranean trade.

The building contains a water portal at ground level and a small fountain designed for travelers who arrived by boat through the adjacent canal.

The facade displays a Gothic hexafora with balconies on the second floor, supported by corbels and decorated with quatrefoil ornaments.
