Main image

Palazzo Pisani Moretta is a historic palazzo on the Grand Canal in Venice, known for its richly decorated interiors and for hosting private events and Carnival balls. It is considered one of the notable palaces along the main canal route.

The exterior presents a canal-facing façade that is best viewed from a vaporetto or boat on the Grand Canal; the palace sits among the sequence of palaces that line the waterway. Inside there are elaborately furnished state rooms and period decoration that are shown during special openings and private events.

The building served as a noble family residence and later became notable for its preserved interiors and collections used for receptions and cultural events. Over time parts of the palazzo have been adapted to host public events and private functions while retaining historic decorative schemes.

The palazzo stands on the Grand Canal in central Venice, within easy walking distance of major landmarks and accessible by the city’s water transport network.

  • Canal frontage: Located directly on the Grand Canal, on the water-facing side visitors can disembark by vaporetto at nearby stops and see the palace façade from the canal.
  • Carnival events: Hosts private events and Venetian Carnival balls in its richly decorated state rooms, making evening visits during Carnival notable.
