Spiral staircase around a tower, like a snail's shell, offering a panoramic view of the roofs of Venice.
Hidden in a maze of alleyways, the bovolo staircase (Venetian for "snail") impresses with its spiral shape that wraps around a tower. Built in 1499, it alternates balustrades and arches in white stone and red brick. As you climb up, you'll discover a unique panoramic view over the rooftops of Venice. On the second level, the loggia houses a small collection of paintings, adding an artistic charm to this remarkable building.

Beautiful architecture but a little expensive for a view over the roofs more than anything else. Combined ticket with Viva Vivaldi interesting. Otherwise, enjoy the view of the Palazzo, the building is superb and it is free.

Un peu difficile à trouver, cet "escalier-tour" du palais Contarini del Bovolo vaut bien un détour parmi les nombreuses ruelles de ce quartier peu éloigné de la place Saint Marc. Petit jardin agréable, possibilité de monter en haut de l'escalier.
