History

The patrician Daniele Barbarigo commissioned the palace from the architect Bernardin Contin, and construction took place during 1566-1570. The Barbarigo collection that included a number of Titian paintings was sold to czars during the 1850s, and is now displayed in the Hermitage. Some of the renaissance decoration of some rooms is still in place.[2] Known for a large terrace overlooking the Grand Canal
