Scuola degli Albanesi, Renaissance guildhall in Cannaregio, Italy
The Scuola degli Albanesi building features proportional geometry and symmetrical patterns characteristic of Renaissance architectural principles throughout its structure.
Founded in 1442, this guildhall initially gathered at S. Severe monastery before relocating to S. Maurizio church in 1447 for Albanian Christian communities.
The main hall displays historical canvases depicting Stories of the Virgin, created by Italian painter Vittore Carpaccio between 1504 and 1508.
The building stands near multiple transport connections, including the Rialto Mercato and Ca' D'Oro ferry terminals for canal navigation.
The facade contains relief sculptures showing Sultan Mehmed II besieging Scutari castle, created by the Lombardo brothers in the 15th century.
