Scala del Bovolo
Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo
In a hidden corner of Venice, on a small courtyard, Corte del Maltese, there is one of the jewels of Venice: the Scala del Bovolo.
The Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a building that dates back to the fourteenth century, has the main facade on the Rio di San Luca, we are in the San Marco district near Campo Manin, but its fame derives from the famous staircase located in the back of the building.
The Scala del Bovolo, added at the end of the fifteenth century, was designed by the architect Giovanni Candi, in the Gothic-Renaissance style. It is 26 meters high and spread over 4 floors, on each floor there is a loggia that gives access to the building.
Exhibitions are set up in the rooms of the second noble floor.
A wonderful panoramic view awaits you from its top: the domes of the Basilica of San Marco, the bell towers and the roofs of a spectacular Venice.
