Casa dei Tre Oci, Gothic Revival palace on Giudecca Island, Venice, Italy.
Casa dei Tre Oci is a palace on Giudecca Island in Venice, distinguished by its three prominent windows on the neo-Gothic facade. The building features details from multiple architectural styles and sits along the water's edge with a distinctive structure.
The palace was built between 1912 and 1913 by artist Mario de Maria as his private residence. The building later became home to notable figures and gradually transformed into a space of cultural importance.
The building serves as a center for photography exhibitions and hosts gatherings that bring together people interested in contemporary art and visual culture. Visitors come to experience rotating shows and engage with curated displays.
The building is generally open to visitors on most days, so check opening times before planning your visit. The experience is best in fair weather when you can also enjoy the exterior views and the waterfront setting.
The three main windows were originally symbols for the architect's family, with a smaller upper window carrying separate meaning. This personal connection between the building's design and family history makes the palace memorable.
