Palazzo Querini Benzon, Palace on Grand Canal, San Marco, Italy.

The palace features a water portal with a staircase, a noble floor containing four-light windows with round arches, and single-light windows with balconies.

Constructed in the early 18th century, the palace replaced a previous structure and gained prominence through Marina Querini's residence during Venice's final republican period.

Marina Querini transformed the palace into a literary salon where notable figures like Lord Byron, Thomas Moore, Ugo Foscolo, and Giacomo Casanova gathered.

The palace stands 2.3 kilometers from Venezia Santa Lucia railway station and 240 meters from the Sant'Angelo vaporetto stop on waterbus Line 1.

The facade underwent modifications in 1897 with the addition of a second floor that mirrors the noble floor design and includes a central balustraded terrace.
