Palazzo Contarini delle Figure, Renaissance palace at Grand Canal, Venice, Italy
The palace exhibits a facade divided into nine sections with eight single-light windows on two levels and a prominent water portal entrance.
Built between 1504 and 1546 for Jacopo Contarini, the procurator of San Marco, replacing a previous Gothic structure on the same site.
The art collection of the palace was transferred to the Ducal Palace in 1713 by Bertucci Contarini, the last male heir of the family.
The palace stands between Palazzo Mocenigo Ca' Vecchia and Palazzo Erizzo Nani Mocenigo, with current division into separate residential apartments.
Five fluted Corinthian columns support a triangular pediment in the central section, an unusual architectural choice for Venetian palace design.
