The Scoletta Santa Croce is an historical building of Venice, designed in the 17th century by Baldassarre Longhena. The façade is a beautiful example of classic venetian architecture and is totally made of Istria stone. The antique furniture has been removed, but the indoor space still has the ancient wooden ceiling: the exhibition space, based in the ground floor, is a large room of 250 smq with three marble columns and walls with visible bricks.
