High above the timeless rhythm of Piazza San Marco, a rare palazzo residence has come to market, offering an extraordinary vantage point over Venice’s most iconic setting. Positioned within the historic Procuratie Vecchie, the property commands direct views of St Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, the Campanile, and the San Marco Basin, placing centuries of history just beyond its windows.
Spanning more than 10,700 square feet across three primary floors and an additional attic level, the residence occupies a scale seldom seen in such a central and culturally significant location.
A Setting Defined by History and Scale
Presented by Ravagnan Forbes Global Properties, the palazzo reflects the architectural heritage of Venice through decorative wood beamed ceilings, traditional Venetian stone floors, and expansive reception spaces that echo the building’s original grandeur. Once used as a showcase for Murano glass, the interiors retain a sense of artistry while offering flexibility for transformation into a private residence or prestigious destination space.
A Grand Arrival and Thoughtful Design
An independent entrance leads into an elegant ground floor defined by a grand main staircase finished in fine marble and Trani stone. Storage areas are discreetly integrated and protected against high tide, a considered detail within the historic fabric of the city. Two elevators serve the residence, ensuring ease of movement throughout the multi level layout.
Piano Nobile Living Above the Square
The second floor Piano Nobile introduces four large principal reception rooms, each oriented to capture shifting light and views across the square below. These rooms lend themselves to entertaining, formal living, or curated gallery style interiors that celebrate both scale and setting.
Rooftop Terraces with a Front Row View
At the uppermost level, two expansive roof terraces open directly onto panoramic views of Piazza San Marco and the surrounding basin. From sunrise to evening, the outlook offers a constantly evolving portrait of Venice, one rarely experienced from a private vantage point.
The residence is represented by Michelangelo Ravagnan of Ravagnan Forbes Global Properties and is offered at US $11,717,600, with VAT considerations applicable. Positioned at the intersection of architectural significance, rarity, and location, this palazzo presents an exceptional opportunity to own a commanding presence above one of the world’s most celebrated squares.
