[1][2][3] The palace is of medieval origin, bearing the classic lines of the Venetian Gothic architecture.

Palazzo Gritti was subjected to a heavy renovation in the 17th century, when its geometry was radically altered, but not its size.

[4] The façade consists of three levels, featuring a large a round-headed portal on the ground floor, with direct access to the canal.

The two noble floors have a symmetrical structure and are decorated by pentaforas in the central parts flanked by pairs of single-lancet windows on each side; all these openings have stone balustrades.

To the right of the main structure there is a smaller building belonging to the Palazzo Gritti complex.
