Palazzi Contarini degli Scrigni e Corfù

Palazzi Contarini degli Scrigni e Corfù, Gothic and Renaissance palaces in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

The Contarini Palaces consist of two connected buildings facing the Grand Canal, featuring Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements across their facades.

The older Gothic palace dates from the 15th century, while the Renaissance structure was added in the 17th century under architect Vincenzo Scamozzi.

The palaces belonged to the influential Contarini family and later hosted notable figures including King Charles I of Austria and writer Gabriele D'Annunzio.

While primarily a private residence, visitors can arrange special guided tours through Best Venice to explore the interior with the current owners.

The palace features a green salon offering views of the Grand Canal, the Frari church bell tower, and the baroque facade of Ca' Rezzonico.
