    Palazzo Bembo is a Venetian-Gothic palace in Venice, located in the San Marco district (sestiere).

    The palace overlooks the Grand Canal next to Palazzo Dolfin Manin, not far from the Rialto Bridge.

     

    SHORT HISTORY OF PALAZZO BEMBO

    Palazzo Bembo was built in the 15th century by the Bembo family, by merging several Byzantine style buildings dating back to the 11th century.

    Over the centuries, the interior of the palace was remodeled several times, but it maintained its original external structure, except for the shape of the attic.

    Today, the palace houses the hotel Palazzo Bembo – Exclusive Accommodation and it is also an exhibition space of contemporary art.

    ARCHITECTURE OF PALAZZO BEMBO

    The facade of the palace has a clear Venetian-Gothic appearance, with its three levels of lancet windows.

    The polifora on the third floor, with the beautiful balustrade, stands out. The floors are separated by stone bas-relief frames.

    Inside, there is a 17th-century staircase overlooking the internal courtyard that leads to the main floor, where we can find decorations in Baroque style dating back to the same century.

     

    TIP: To admire every palace, church and bridge built on the Grand Canal, the best option is to take the waterbus Line 1 from Piazzale Roma, which will get you in about 45 minutes to San Marco Vallaresso, located near Piazza San Marco and the eastern end of the canal.

    And if you need more time to admire the scenery, take an enchanting gondola ride along Canal Grande.
