Ca 'Giustinian
Ca 'Giustinian is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the Sestiere of San Marco , overlooking the Grand Canal, next to the Bauer Palace .
history
The Giustinian family , an illustrious Venetian patrician family, had the palace built in the second half of the 15th century in place of an earlier building in which Lorenzo Giustinian , the first patriarch of Venice, lived in the first half of that century .
In the 17th century the property fell to the Morosinis . At the end of the 1820s it was converted into a hotel called “Europa”, where Théophile Gautier , Marcel Proust and Giuseppe Verdi, among others , stayed .
On October 19, 1866, the French General Representative, Edmond Lebœuf , signed the formal document on the abandonment of Venice, a prelude to the referendum in Veneto on October 21 and 22, 1866.
After the city of Venice bought the palace, it was thoroughly restored and today it houses the offices of the Biennale di Venezia .

description
The magnificent Gothic façade of the Ca 'Giustinian extends over four floors, separated by cornices .
The main part of the palace was connected to a building on its left at the end of the 15th century, leaving an alleyway. Since then, the two buildings have been a unit.
Most of the window openings are single windows, mostly with keel arches , in white stone frames on the facade surface in brick . They differ from those in the middle part: on the ground floor there is a round arch portal with two individual windows that are provided with roofs . Above that, on the two main floors and on the top floor, there are three quadruple windows from a later period, all with protruding balusters .
Noteworthy is a Venetian window on the left side of the ground floor
Above, a serrated eaves delimits the facade, on which sits a roof terrace with balusters, from which one overlooks the last part of the Grand Canal, the Punta della Dogana and the San Marco Basin .
