Ca' Zenobio degli Armeni, Baroque palace in Dorsoduro, Italy

The palace features a grand Hall of Mirrors decorated with frescoes, a two-story ballroom, and extensive gardens along the Rio Carmini canal.

Built between 1690 and 1700 by architect Antonio Gaspari, the palace replaced a Gothic structure owned by the Morosini family before the Zenobio acquisition.

From 1851 to 1997, the palace served as the Moorat-Raphael College, an educational institution for Armenian students offering multilingual instruction.

Located at Fondamenta del Soccorso, Dorsoduro 2597, the palace opens daily except Mondays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM for visitors.

The ceiling paintings by Louis Dorigny include Aurora and the Carriage of Apollo, while other rooms display scenes from Queen Zenobia's life.
