Palazzo Corner della Regina

The lower story has a sturdy brick-like pattern of ashlar stone masonry.

The lower doors and windows are surmounted by grotesque-like masks that serve as waterspouts, hence can be called gargoyles.

The main floor or piano nobile has tall window-doors with a rounded top and helmeted female busts at the keystone.

[1] The palace now houses the History Archives of the Contemporary Art Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia, as well as having display space for the Fondazione Prada.

[2] The piano nobile frescoes were commissioned by a Caterino Cornaro, a distant descendant of the famous queen, and completed by Constantino Cedini, Vincenzo Colomba and Domenico Fossati; they depict a series of episodes from Queen Caterina Cornaro's life.
