Palazzo Corner Valmarana is a palace in Venice, located in the San Marco district and overlooking the Grand Canal.[1][2] It locates not far from the Ponte di Rialto, between Palazzo Cavalli and Palazzo Grimani di San Luca.

History[edit]

It is a 16th-century building, but completely renovated in the second half of the 19th century, with interventions that favored the chromatic and decorative aspects of architecture.[3]

Architecture[edit]

The façade is of four floors and overlooks the left bank of the Grand Canal, immediately before Palazzo Grimani di San Luca. Each of two noble floors features a trifora flanked by pairs of monoforas. The mezzanine attic has rectangular windows; all other openings are arched. The facade is pained bright orange and decorated with marble paterae, white string courses, and other moldings. The palace houses municipal offices.
