Casa Cosmo
Calle di Mezzo 4976
San Marco - VENICE

We accept all major credit cards

 


Casa Cosmo is located in a typical Venetian calle, Calle di mezzo, very centrally situated but off the crowdiest paths where the only sound is the echo of the rustling which enshrouds Venice, composed of the sound of voices and steps.
Piazza San Marco is a five minute walk from here along the Mercerie, the narrow streets which are still home to shops with all types of wares: souvenirs, gourmet items and elegant boutiques bearing the most famous designer names. Emerging from the narrow roads into Piazza San Marco is an emotion, in front of you is a space unique in the world for its beauty and harmony, lined by the buildings of the Procuratie (Law Courts), home to the Museo Correr and important temporary exhibits, which frame the thousand year old Basilica in a fifth perspective, decorated with priceless mosaics and marbles and the mass of the Campanile, which stands out ever so delicately over the 16th century loggia, presiding over the square.

Saint Mark's Basilica: beautiful Venetian church with 5 domes looks like the ancient church of Costantinopoli. It was embellished during the early centuries of the last millennium and particulary in the thirtheenth century when Venice dominated Mediterranean culture and economy. The church, built to represent the power of Serenissima, is externally embellished with marble, mosaics and bas-relief: all maded with precious materials came from Bisanzio, Aquileia and Ravenna. Internally, the church has a Greek cross plan with domes substained by big columns.
Rialto Bridge: 'Till thirteenth century Venice was built on a groups of islands separated by channels and to get on the other side were laid down wood boards. Later many bridges were built in Venice but no one of them joining the Gran Canal's banks.
This was a big problem for the Establishment so that population was always teasing it about this promise.
Competition had been won by Antonio da Ponte who thought a unic arch bridge, 48 meters long and 22 meters wide. Foundation was started in 1588, and it took some years to finally join the opposite part of the Gran Canal and subsitute the previous wood bridge that many times collapsed before. To get an imagine of this previous bridge look at the famous painting by Carpaccio "Guarigione di un ossesso")...
Ca' D'Oro: Once upon the time was considered one of the most sumptuous buildings of Venice for the beautiful colours of its facade, Ca' D'oro knew an unlucky period becouse of the several restorations made during five centuries of history, till baron Giorgio Franchetti bought it at the end of XIX century to create an art gallery. Inside it's possible to admire masterpieces by Mantegna, Diana and Carpaccio. Besides there are many paintings of Flemish school and what remain of the decorations that one time made beautiful the facades of the buildings near the "Canal Grande" (main channel of Venice).
