Palazzo Orio Semitecolo Benzon, Gothic palace at Grand Canal in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

The palace contains a hexafora on the first noble floor with four balustrated windows and two side monoforas supported by pillars and balconies.

The Orio family of ancient nobility constructed this palace during the 14th century, later passing ownership to the Semitecolo and Benzon families.

The water portal displays a dentiled frame and bears the shield of the Benzoni family, carved from Istrian stone during the 14th-15th centuries.

Located between Casa Santomaso and Casa Salviati, the palace stands at Calle del Bastion 187 in the Dorsoduro district of Venice.

The second noble floor features an asymmetrical design with a bifora and projecting balcony on the left side, complemented by two monoforas on the right.
