Palazzo della Dogana

Palazzo della Dogana (Customs Palace) is so called because it was Treviso's office of customs during the "Serenissima" Republic of Venice. It has been the main building of Saint Leonard's Hospital for more than six hundred years. Today it is home to the Faculty of Law of Padua's University.
