The palazzo is also known as Ca' dei Cuori, a family whose wrought iron coats of arms is present on the façade.

[1] Built in 1678 on the place where there was an ancient Gothic palace, of which only the corner columns survive, the Palazzo Correr Contarini Zorzi was a residence for many noble Venetian families.

In this palace lived Antonio Correr, known for being one of the few patricians who refused to wear a wig, then considered to be a status symbol of the noble classes.

The palace offers an impressive 17th-century façade with two imposing monumental water portals, decorated by bow-shaped heads.

The facade terminates with a white balustrade, which delimits an extensive roof terrace and is supported by a dentiled cornice.
