ARCHITECTURE OF PALAZZO QUERINI PAPOZZE

The palace is characterized by a large but simple and functional facade, with rectangular openings.

The facade has 43 windows on four floors and three portals on the ground floor. The coat of arms of the Querini family on the facade is a recent copy.

Of the ancient building, only a well remains in the courtyard and a porch overlooking the rear.

Inside the courtyard, there is a large garden, which, among its peculiarities, has a bridge built during the 19th century.
