#101 Close to Palazzo Tetta

Close to Palazzo Tetta, Venice, 🇮🇹 Italy

About this Stone

Palazzo Tetta is a charming and lesser-known historic palace in the heart of the city, located at the intersection of three canals in the Castello district. This 14th-century building stands out for its unique position, where water flows on three sides—making it one of the few Venetian palaces almost surrounded by canals. With its Gothic-style windows and weathered façade, it embodies old Venice's quiet elegance and mystery. Though not open to the public, it's a favorite subject for photographers and artists drawn to its romantic, almost surreal setting. Its name is believed to be derived from a Venetian family that once lived there, adding a touch of local lore to its architectural allure. The area invites exploration through the surrounding alleys, where the stone has been hidden among the timeless charm of these historic waterways.
