Description
Climb the Scala Contarini del Bovolo and admire Venice from the Belvedere terrace. Discover the history of the palace and its spiral staircase.
Visit the Scala Contarini del Bovolo, a unique jewel off the beaten tourist track. Explore the Palazzo Contarini di San Paternian, a late Gothic palace dating back to the 1300s.
Admire the beautiful and graceful spiral staircase (“bovolo” in Venetian), commissioned in 1499 by Pietro Contarini to embellish the palace. Climb the eighty monolithic steps, which ascend counterclockwise inside a 26-meter-high cylindrical tower built in Istrian stone and exposed bricks.
Reach the wonderful terrace “Belvedere” and admire panoramic views of the entire city on the lagoon. Learn about the palace’s history, including its transformation into a lodging-house in the 19th century and its connection to the German astronomer Ernst Wilhelm Tempel, who discovered the C/1859 comet and the Merope Nebula of the Pleiades during his stay.
