Palazzo Barzizza
History
The palace was erected in typical fondaco style, with warehouses in the base and residence atop, by the Contarini family in the 13th-century. It has undergone a number of refurbishments over the centuries. The Barzizza acquired the palace in the 18th-century.
The 16th-century ground-floor portal is partly hidden by a protrusion into the canal.[1]
