Palazzo Corner Mocenigo

The palazzo exhibits a tripartite design with three mezzanines, featuring thin brick construction and a grand water floor with Ionic and Corinthian orders.

Michele Sanmicheli designed this 16th-century palace, which now serves as headquarters for the Guardia di Finanza, an Italian law enforcement agency.

The palace interior once contained paintings by Giambattista Tiepolo, reflecting the wealth and status of the Corner family during Venice's prosperous period.

The building maintains two entrances, with the main facade overlooking a small canal and a secondary entrance leading to Campo San Polo square.

The palace construction uses exceptionally thin bricks, a Roman building technique that diverged from traditional Venetian construction methods of that period.
