Palazzo Moro, commonly referred to as Palazzo Barbini-Moro or Palazzo Guoro, is a notable building situated in Venice's Dorsoduro district, overlooking the Grand Canal. Constructed in the early 16th century, it was extensively renovated in the 19th century. The establishment is often linked to Shakespeare's Othello, which is thought to draw inspiration from Cristoforo Moro, a doge with a troubled family history. The palace showcases a minimalist facade with distinctive quadrifore windows and a modest water portal. Its small internal courtyards provide visitors with an insight into the architecture of the time. Visitors should check local listings for specific opening hours and admission prices, as the site is generally accessible for those interested in Venice's rich history.
