Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel

Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel is a Gothic palace in Venice, Italy located in the Cannaregio district.

[2] It is possible that Soranzo was involved in the construction of the adjacent Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli.

In recent years, Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel has been used for the Biennale and undergone exterior renovation.

[4] Also remarkable is the entrance gate on the Fondamenta de le Erbe, in original wood with bezel and the coat of arms of the Van Axel.

A curious part of the building that closes its south part is a few meters wide: built certainly after the rest of the building, it rises above a detachment originally imposed by the Venetian court in a property dispute with the adjoining convent of nuns.
