Palazzi Zen, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Italy.

The palace exhibits intricate Gothic architecture with a facade facing the Rio di San Stin, featuring two distinct 14th-century obelisks at its entrance.

Carlo Zeno, a notable military commander, constructed this palace during the 14th century when Venice maintained strong maritime influence across Mediterranean waters.

The noble floor contains frescoes by Antonio Pellegrini, Jacopo Guarana, and Amigoni, representing the artistic excellence of 18th-century Venetian painters.

The ground floor includes multiple spaces such as a courtyard, garden, and kitchen facilities, making it suitable for events and ceremonial functions.

Alessandro Zeno, who served as ambassador to King Louis XV's court in Versailles, commissioned architect Antonio Gasparri to renovate the palace extensively.
