The palace has a longer façade on the Ruga (alley) dei Oresi and a shorter one on the Canal Grande. The former has a portico with 37 arcades, whose ceiling, with
cross vaults, is covered by frescoes, most of which are preserved in a good state. The two upper floors, divided by two thick frames, feature 37
mullioned windows with undecorated stone frames. At the top is a notched frame in correspondence with the attic. The façade on the canal is similar: It has four arcades at the bottom and five pairs of rectangular mullioned windows at the upper floors. The only decorative elements are the 16th-century statue of Justice (second floor) at the corner, and a bas-relief with a Lion of St. Mark (1848), dating to the short-lived
Republic of San Marco. ==See also==
