Palazzo Zaguri, Gothic palace in San Marco, Venice, Italy.
Palazzo Zaguri is a Gothic palace in Venice's San Marco district along the Rio canal. The building features a five-light loggia on the upper floor and six arches along the waterway, characteristic of Venetian Gothic design.
The palace was built in 1353 by the Pasqualini family, wealthy silk merchants from Milan who settled in Venice. Over centuries, the building passed through different hands as ownership shifted among influential Venetian families.
The palace displays heraldic symbols on its facade that reflect the origins of its former owners. Visitors can see today the carefully crafted stucco frames in the main rooms, which hint at the wealth and refinement of those who lived here.
The building now operates as an exhibition center with numerous rooms spread across multiple floors. Visitors should allow time to explore the interior since there are many levels to see.
One of the former owners employed Lorenzo da Ponte, a renowned librettist and friend of Giacomo Casanova. This connection shows how the palazzo was part of Venice's intellectual circles.
