Fondamenta del Soccorso (Carmini Church)
Dorsoduro 2596, 30123 Venezia
The Ca'Zenobio is a monumental building, built in late 17th
and beginning of 18th century, for the Venetian noble family
of Zenobio by Antonio Gaspari. Since 1850, the Palace belongs
to the Armenian Mekhitarist Fathers of Venice. In the facade's
rather monotonous development, it actually conceals a complex
plan, in the shape of an large "C" which opens in
the rear toward a handsome Italian garden.
