Palazzo Giustinian Lolin: Façade

The palace was built between the end of the fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth centuries. It was subjected to major renovation and rebuilding during the first part of the seventeenth century, undertaken by Baldassare Longhena.

The architect did not intervene significantly in term of the layout of the palace and the distribution of its windows and doors. The intervention was carried out only to modernise the palace, with respect for the original Gothic scheme, retaining the proportions of one-light and several-light windows and the absence of the mezzanine floor. The Gothic fa�ade is retained but presented in a completely new way, transforming the palace but leaving the structure unaltered.
