Contrada Sant'Antonin, Venice

This building was designed by Baldassare Longhena, who began construction in 1678 thanks to the legacy of Tommaso Flangini. Until the fall of the Republic, the Collegio was the seat of learning for the Greek community. Since 1959 it is the seat of the Istituto Ellenico di Studi Bizantini e Postbizantini.

The picture shows a view from the Ponte dei Greci of the façade on the Rio dei Greci.
