Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy.
The palace stands at the intersection of Rio de la Panada and Rio de Ca' Widmann, featuring quadriforas supported by balconies on two noble floors.
Construction started in 1473 for Nicolò Soranzo using materials from an ancient Byzantine palace, and in 1652 the building became property of the Van Axel family.
The palace functions as an exhibition space during Venice Biennale events, offering 3,000 square meters of indoor galleries across four renovated floors.
Visitors can access the palace through pedestrian pathways from Fondamenta van Axel, with two lifts available for individuals with disabilities.
The palace includes a narrow section added after the main construction due to a legal dispute with a neighboring convent.
