Palazzo Mocenigo Casa Vecchia

The Palazzo Mocenigo Casa Vecchia is a striking palazzo located on the Grand Canal in Venice's San Marco district, positioned conveniently between the iconic Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Square. This palazzo is part of a larger complex that was historically significant to the Mocenigo family, who produced seven Doges of Venice. Although referred to as 'Casa Vecchia' or 'Old House', it is actually the newest structure in the complex, having been constructed between 1623 and 1625 by architect Francesco Contin on the site of a medieval factory where philosopher Giordano Bruno once stayed. Visitors can explore its rich history and architectural beauty, making it a noteworthy stop for tourists and researchers alike.
