Venice - Palazzo Grimani

 
This palace was built in 1556, where the Rio di San Luca flows into the Canal Grande, for the Procurator Girolamo Grimani by Michele Sanmicheli from Verona. The towering facade with its massive window arches was completed in the following year by Giangicomo, who also worked on the second story. The palazzo was completed in 1575 by Giovanni Rusconi. Alessandro Vittorio was responsible for the ornamentation of the doorway. Today it houses the Appeal Court of Venice.

The main facade overlooks the Canal Grande.
