Palazzo dei Dieci Savi, Renaissance palace in San Polo, Venice, Italy.
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
The building displays a statue of Justice on its corner facing the waterway. The preserved ceiling frescoes beneath the portico show the artistic care invested in its design.
Practical
The palace stands near the Rialto Bridge and directly opposite the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi along the Grand Canal. You can view the building from the water or explore the surrounding streets to see both of its facades.
Did you know?
The building housed water administration offices for the lagoon until 2014. This extended practical use shows how Venice maintained its institutional functions in historic spaces well into modern times.
