About this activity

In the intricate maze of alleyways and canals between the Rialto Bridge and the Academy lies the most famous spiral staircase in Venice: Scala Contarini del Bovolo at Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a unique architectural treasure that combines the essence of Renaissance, Gothic and Byzantine styles.

Scala Contarini del Bovolo is the most famous staircase in Venice and Bovolo, in Venetian dialect, is the word for snail shell in reference to its spiral shape.

The palazzo is hidden away in a quiet courtyard just a few steps from Campo Manin in the San Marco district.

The Bovolo staircase in Venice is considered the most valuable example of a spiral staircase building in Venice as it features a perfect amalgam of different architectural styles. The Renaissance capitals, Gothic construction technique and the typical Byzantine Venetian shape make it a real rarity in the city!
