Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo

Nascosta all'interno di una piccola corte, alla fine di una stretta calle, laterale al Campo Manin, emerge singolare in tutta la sua straordinaria eleganza la Scala Contarini del Bovolo. È un singolare esempio dell'architettura veneziana di transizione dallo stile gotico a quello rinascimentale.

Hidden behind a few side streets but well worth finding. Beautiful spiral staircase , supposedly for a horse!

Petra Seidel

We found it during a Geocaching-Trip in Venice. It is a very impressive building from the 14th Century, the staircase was built in 1499th. An absolute must see if you are in Venice.

Might be a little bit hard to find but the Contarini del Bovolo staircase is an extraordinary example of Venetian architecture embracing renaissance style.

Kristjan Wager

Beautiful architecture and view from the top was spectacular

Ben Baron

You might have to turn the map a bit to reach this interesting piece of architecture since it's hidden down a small alley, but it's worth the detour.

[EN] A secret place without tourist . It is worth visiting to see the spiral . It's hard to find it.

Ruth Banbury

Well worth the climb , fantastic views

Ru Galiev

The hidden treasure however we did not go inside since the entrance fee is pricey

Marco M

Just to have a quick look outside but don't pay to go inside the view is not interesting at all

Este 'palazzo' gótico é conhecido pela sinuosa escadaria exterior. O belo lanço de escadas em tijolo vermelho e pedra istriana dá acesso a cinco pisos de graciosas 'loggias' encurvadas numa torre.

Denis Caraush

После многочисленных поворотов налево-направо, вы неожиданно для себя выйдете в небольшой дворик , на котором безраздельно главенствует спиралью возвышающаяся лестница, изрезанная арками.

Denis Caraush

От площади Campo San Bartolomeo у подножия Риальто - по желтым указателям до Accademia & до площади Campo Manin, где на маленькой панели, которую очень просто не заметить, указано направление на Scala

Eski bir saray aslınsa. Merdivenleri spiral şeklinde. Tepesine çıkıp şehri izliyorsunuz. 10 Euro ücreti.

Я несколько лет мечтала попасть сюда и подняться по лестнице наконец!

David GG

[ES] Es un lugar secreto donde no encontraras turistas , merece la pena acercarse para ver la escalera de caracol . Algo difícil de encontrar.

Luigi Candida

Un posto magnifico dove rinchiudersi con chi si ama, fuori il mondo, dentro il tuo mondo.

Светлана Марковская

Хороша, и днём и ночью

Marjorie Soutric

Cerrado, al parecer por reparaciones.
