Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo -
This Gothic palace with its pointed arches takes its name from the unusual
outher staircase which brings the form of a cylindrical tower that climbs
like a spiral, or to use the Venetian language word that means spiral and
snail, bovolo. Giovanni Contarini commissioned this stairway in
order to link the outbuildings to the palace itself in 1499.
