Scoleta dei calegheri, Gothic palace in Campo San Tomà, Venice, Italy
The Scoleta dei Calegheri displays intricate Gothic architectural elements with a brick façade and a large portal featuring a characteristic Venetian arch.
Built in 1478, this building served as the headquarters for the Venetian shoemakers guild, which included over 1200 members across 350 workshops.
The palace holds a relief by Antonio Rizzo depicting Saint Mark healing Saint Anianus, symbolizing the strong connection between craftsmanship and religion.
The structure now functions as the San Tomà district library, offering access to 400,000 volumes through the Venice Library Network system.
Three shoe representations decorate the façade's beam under the ogival lunette, reflecting the building's original purpose as a shoemakers' guild hall.
