Palazzo dei Dieci Savi

Palazzo dei Dieci Savi, Renaissance palace in San Polo, Venice, Italy.

Palazzo dei Dieci Savi is a Renaissance palace in Venice with two distinct facades: a longer one with 37 arcades on Ruga degli Osei and a shorter one with four arcades facing the canal. The arcades are framed with stone detailing and pierced by multi-light windows.

The palace was built in the first half of the 16th century by Antonio Abbondi as the administrative center for Venice's financial magistrates. Its role ended in 1797 when the Venetian Republic lost its independence.

The name refers to the Dieci Savi alle Decime, the ten magistrates who assessed tithes here until 1797. On the corner between the two facades stands a 16th-century statue of Justice, and a circular bas-relief of the Lion of St. Mark was set in place in 1848, during the short-lived Republic of San Marco.

The palace faces the Grand Canal opposite the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi, a short walk from the Rialto Bridge. Its long facade with 37 arcades runs along the Ruga dei Oresi, while the canal front has four arcades. The building is not open to the public, but both facades can be seen from the water or the surrounding streets.

The Magistrato alle Acque, Venice's water authority, occupied the palace until it was abolished in 2014 after the MOSE corruption scandal. A 1925 restoration was carried out by the architect Agostino Jaccuzzi. The building had already served the Republic's tax magistrates until 1797.
