Magazzini del sale, Historic salt warehouse palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

The Magazzini del Sale stretches along Fondamenta delle Zattere with nine large portals, each topped by crescent-shaped windows facing the Giudecca Canal.

Built in the early 1400s, these warehouses played a central role in Venice's salt trade, positioned near the main docks where rafts transported goods.

The Emilio and Annabianca Vedova Foundation transformed one section into an exhibition space, maintaining the original brick walls and roof structure.

Visitors can reach the palace using public transportation, with nearby Actv stops at Salute and Spirito Santo stations.

A modern rail system runs along the roof trusses, using robotic shuttles to transport artworks between storage and exhibition areas.
