description
The Palazzo Falier stands on typical arcades with six arches along the Rio dei Santi Apostoli and looks with a special monumentality over the adjacent square. The facade, an example of Byzantine influence in Venice, shows very old elements, including the two quadruple windows on Peducci , which are arranged irregularly one above the other. The decorations from the 13th and 15th centuries are also remarkable: two arched and two round reliefs , as well as two Gothic shields. The monochrome facade is interrupted by individual windows, which are arranged in pairs next to the multiple windows.
